There is no actual EU currency. 19 of the 28 countries use the Euro, so this is sometimes thought of as being the EU currency. The other 9 countries in the European Union do not use the Euro and continue to use their own currencies.

The 'Common Currency', or the 'Single Currency' are names used to describe the Euro, the currency established by the European Union to be used by its members. It is common, because all EU member countries using the Euro control it jointly, via the European Central Bank.

The symbol for the Euro is '�'.

Not all European Union countries use it. Currently 19 of the 28 EU members use the Euro: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.

A further 6 small non-EU countries also use the Euro, but these countries have no say in how it is run: Andorra, Kosovo, Monaco, San Marino, Montenegro and the Vatican City.

What are advantages of using the euro?

The biggest savings is in trade between one country and the EU, or between the EU states. Conversion of currency is complex and needs a vast accounting system. Businesses would need to hedge against currencies if they sell products in different countries that use different currencies. One common currency in the EU makes this process much easier. Another advantage to the EU states is the power of their currency as a reserve currency for the world. A currency held by many states is more attractive as a reserve currency as the market for the currency is more liquid.
