There is no limit on the amount of Swedish and foreign currency taken into Sweden.
The Euro replaced 12 national currencies in January 2002 as the single currency of these European nations: Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Portugal and Finland, with Finland as the single Nordic country participating. Sweden has yet to ratify the Euro treaty.
