Home > Financials > Euro Currency

Named in 1995, and introduced in 1999, the euro is the official currency of more than
half of the member countries of the European Union. According to the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), the euro zone may represent the second largest economy in the
world; a likely driving force behind the apparent interest in the exchange of this currency.
