The official currency of the eurozone, which comprises 20 European Union member states, is the euro (symbol: €, currency code: EUR). It is subdivided into 100 cents, though one-cent coins are rarely used in daily transactions. Launched on 1 January 1999, the euro has become one of the world’s most stable and widely traded currencies, serving over 340 million Europeans. Travelers often monitor the AUD→EUR rate when exploring cities from Paris to Prague.
