Read something about it, in this page.

- Finally, the same question about EURO.



Euro is the European currency (money).
It was born in 1999 (the sign was born in 1996).
The euro is divided into 100 (a hundred) cents.
The coins are issued in €2, €1, 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c and 1c denominations.
Notes are issued in €500, €200, €100, €50, €20, €10, €5. Each banknote has its own colour.
