	Euro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The euro (€; ISO 4217 code EUR) is the currency of twelve of the twenty-five nations that form the European Union (and four outside it, as well as Montenegro and Kosovo), which form the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
		All euro coins have a common obverse showing the worth and a national reverse showing an image particular to the country it was issued in; the monarchies have a picture of their reigning monarch, other countries usually have their national symbols.
		The euro was established by the provisions in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European Union relating to establishing an economic and monetary union.

	Euro banknotes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The euro was formally established as a unit of exchange on 1 January 1999, and euro banknotes and coins (see euro coins) entered circulation on 1 January 2002.
		The "paper" used for Euro banknotes is in fact 100% pure cotton fibre, which improves their durability as well as imparting a distinctive feel.
		Although the design of the Euro banknotes was intended to depict bridges and arches/windows/gateways to represent the connectedness and openness of the European Union, respectively, the intended solidarity of the Member States was, ironically, not present in the design-process.

	Introduction of EURO Banknotes and Coins
		However, if you still have national banknotes after the dual circulation period has ended, the 12 national central banks of the euro area will exchange national banknotes for euro free of charge for a minimum of 10 years, and national coins for a minimum of two years.
		The euro will be comprised of seven different banknotes and eight coins, replacing the national banknotes and coins of the countries in the euro area.
		Euro area Member States then began implementing a common monetary policy and the euro was introduced as the single currency with the 11 currencies of the participating Member States becoming subdivisions of the euro.

	European Ombudsman Decision 1939/2002/IJH
		If information on the stocks and flows of banknotes in the territories of different euro area Member States were to be made available to the public, it could jeopardise the security of both the storage of banknotes and their subsequent transfer between national central banks: these transfers are made to compensate for any (potential) shortages.
		As regards the issue of security, the complainant points out that variations in country-specific stocks of euro banknotes would not normally lead to transfers of banknotes between national central banks and that Article 3 (4) of Decision ECB/2001/15 makes clear that such transfers are the exception and not the rule(3).
		Disclosure of statistics about stocks and flows of Euro banknotes in the territories of different euro area Member States could undermine the interests set out in Article 4 of Decision ECB/1998/12, because it could jeopardise the security of both the storage of banknotes and their subsequent transfer between national central banks.

		We are confident that the Euro 2002 Information Campaign will inform the public about the introduction of the euro banknotes and coins, both inside and outside the euro area, as will the public relations campaigns already launched by the euro area national central banks and other (international) organisations.
		A rather extreme form of adjusting to the introduction of the euro is euroisation, which implies the adoption of the euro as legal tender by a country outside the euro area.
		Those countries outside the euro area having traditionally close ties with the countries that have adopted the euro are rightly considering the consequences for themselves of the introduction the euro.
