What currency do we use?

  • Only 19 countries in the European Union use the Euro
  • So it’s not a symbol for everyone in the EU

​

  • Have a look at the coins. What can you see on each side?
  • Have a look at the bank notes. They have buildings and bridges on them. They are all the same across the EU.
