The Swedish government has argued that staying outside the euro is legal since one of the requirements for Eurozone membership is a prior two-year membership of the ERM II; by simply choosing to stay outside the exchange rate mechanism, the Swedish government is provided a formal loophole avoiding the requirement of adopting the euro.
The euro is widely perceived to be one of two, or perhaps three, major global reserve currencies, making inroads on the widely used U.S. dollar (USD), which has historically been used by commercial and central banks world-wide as a stable reserve on which to ensure their liquidity and facilitate international transactions.

If the euro were to become either a hegemonic currency replacing the dollar or a co-hegemonic currency equal in reserve status to the dollar, some of the subsidy the US gains would be transferred to the EU and help balance out some of the problems of the present heterogeneous economic structure still in place.
If the euro were to become a reserve currency it would benefit member countries by lowering the service charges on their debts.

 ARE YOU EURO-FLUENT?
The EU launched the euro last January in accordance with the 1993 treaty, and 11 nations that joined the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)—known as Euroland—fixed their national (legacy) currencies to the euro.
Currencies participating in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) are units of the euro until January 1, 2002.
To convert one currency to another, you must use the triangulation method: Convert currency 1 to the euro and then convert that amount in euros to currency 2, using the fixed conversion rates adopted on January 1, 1999.

 The Euro
The euro (currency code: EUR) is the official currency of the European Union (as stated in article I-8 of the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe), and the EMU is the process by which EU member states replace their national currency with the euro and transfer management of monetary policy to the European Central Bank.
During the transition phase, in which the national currency and the euro co-exist, a process called "triangulation", which is supported by applications such as Currency Server, WorldCalc and Euro Calculator, is required to convert to and from the national currency and any non-EMU currencies.
Also in consideration of the fact that euro banknotes and coins are already in circulation, the changeover scenario applied to the first twelve participating member states may not be appropriate or desirable for future euro-area entrants.

 European Union Euro and Euro currency information including currency exchange rates
While creation of this currency is most obviously a channel through which Europe may perfect a single market (by facilitating free trade between members of the Eurozone), the euro is just as importantly a means through which Europe may achieve political integration.
Although the euro was only formally put into circulation on January 1, 2002, the idea of creating "an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe" has been around for decades-as stated in the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
Seven years later on January 1, 1999-the euro was born when the participating countries established exchange rates between their own currencies and the euro creating a monetary union.

 The birth of the Euro
But apart from the local transition, when the 12 Eurozone states’ 300 million inhabitants had to be supplied with Euro, they even had to carry out the replacement for anyone possessing an EMU member currency, for example someone in Hungary with schilling, marc, lire or any of the others.
Of course, this one was not as urgent as it was in the region where Euro became the official money, but in one or two months even they had to face the difficulties of the transition.
In some cases the features of the old coins were simply put on the Euro coins, but it is really understandable, as they were the national symbols of the states and they will be in the future too.
