On this day, October 8, 2012, the USD is worth 0.7713 Euros, so the Euro is currently stronger than the USD.

The Euro was released into circulation in 2002 and was just lower than one US Dollar. However, the currency steadily began to rise and since the end of 2002, it has been valued at more than one dollar. The Euro fell to $1.20 for the first time in two years in July 2012 and is currently tied in with the European debt crisis.

The highest value the Euro has ever hit was $1.60. (July 2008)

The lowest value the Euro has ever hit was $0.83. (January 2002)

Yes, it was. On 1 January 1999, the euro replaced the former European Currency Unit (ECU) at a ratio of 1:1 (US$1.1743). The euro dropped to US$0.8252 within two years but has traded above the US dollar since the end of 2002, peaking at US$1.5990 on July 15, 2008.

Yes. When the currency first became official there was a lot of uncertainty about whether it would be successful. That fear drove its price on the currency market to 87 or 88 cents U.S.
