Euro banknotes and coins were introduced in 2002. One side of the coin is the same, while the other has been designed by individual member states with symbols that represent each country’s origin and nationality. All euro currency is accepted in the countries that have adopted the euro.

Notes come in seven different denominations: 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5 euros. There are eight coins: 2 and 1 euros, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 cents. Both bank notes and coins were designed to suit people with visual impairments.
