Wrong currency
Steam automatically defaults to my country being the Faroe Islands, which is correct. But then for whatever reason the currency they've assigned to us are Euros? We don't use Euros, and it is super annoying having to convert it every time I want to buy something. I know it's possible to have in different currencies, since my friends from other countries have their own currencies. Why can't I?
Also apparantly a game I wanted is way more expensive when in Euros, compared to my friends currency. That is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I have to pay extra in a currency that isn't even my own.
I can't change my country to get my own currency, because they detect the country I am in.
And I can't find a place to contact Steam about this.

Your country has no regional Steam currency yet.
In which case Steam defaults to Euro or Dollar depending on the region.
Nothing you can do but hoping they will someday implement your currency in Steam.
There are quiet a few countries missing their own local currency.
Yes Danish Krone. Why would they have the Norwegian Krone and not the Danish, Swedish or Icelandic one?

Steam takes into account various factors before they support local currencies

Well for the Danish and Swedish examples they are part of the EU and individual currencies within that region are a lower priority especially with laws being put in place to say they must have the same prices across all countries.

Iceland isn't as clear but that may just be a case of the size of the market there being considered too small to rush to create its own currency settings for.
