On January 1, 1999 a new single currency was implemented in 11 participating countries. These 11 countries are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Two years after it was implemented Greece adopted the euro and became the 12th country to participate in a single currency system.
It wasn't until January 1, 2002 that the euro became the official currency of the participating Member States.
