The euro is used in 20 member countries of the euro area, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, the Netherlands, Austria and Finland, to name but a few.

Euro coins also have a dual identity: while they all share the same obverse, the reverse side is specific to each country. Rest assured, however — they remain valid throughout the entire euro area!

Although the euro is relatively new, having been introduced on 1 January 1999, it is now the second most widely used currency in the world, just behind the US dollar. Indeed, more than 350 million people use it every day.

Did you know that the euro could have been given a different name? Before 1995, it was considered that it might be called “ecu”. In addition to recalling the name of the old medieval currency, ECU also stood for “European Currency Unit”. However, some countries rejected this name, and “euro” was ultimately chosen.

Euro coins are also particularly sought after by collectors. Some of them are in fact misstruck, produced in very small quantities, or feature errors that make them collectible. A 2-euro coin issued in Greece and dating from 2002, for example, can reach a value of nearly €80,000!
