About the Euro currency
 
The Euro symbol denotes the Euro, the common currency used by more than 300 million people in 16 European countries. The Euro currency may also be indicated by the abbreviation "EUR".

Since January 1st, 2002 the Euro is physically in circulation, and Euro banknotes and coins have replaced the "old" European currencies (such as the French Franc and the German Mark).
The Euro has actually already been a legal currency since it was officially introduced in Europe in January 1999. Until January 2002 it was merely a calculation unit, used by stock exchanges, large companies and governments.
