EURO

History of European currencies from ancient times to the Euro. The map shows that there were other attempts, or rather, temptations, to introduce a single currency during the European history, when trade was most intense, The map presents all the currencies of the Countries that adopted the Euro up to 2011, the year of publication of this work. Twenty of the twenty-seven member states of the European Union adopted the Euro as their sole currency at different times: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain (1999), Greece (2001), Slovenia (2007), Cyprus, Malta (2008), Slovakia (2009), Estonia (2011), Latvia (2014), and Lithuania (2015).

« This result is due to continuity and consistency in the work of three generations of pro-Europeans. The singe currency is the distinctive mark of a community that, after centuries, has made war disappear from its horizons. Such an incisive innovation as the single currency will make the dominant behaviour of national egoism incompatible. This is why I am convinced that Europe will take the next step towards a full political union. »

Carlo Azeglio Ciampi | economist, 10th President of the Republic of Italy
