There are 10 currencies in the European Union. 19 of the 28 European Union countries use the Euro. The other 9 countries use their own currencies. They are the Bulgarian lev, British pound sterling, Croatian kuna, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Hungarian forint, Polish złoty, Romanian leu and the Swedish krona.
Europe has yet to be united with a common currency. The Euro is the official currency of the European Union, which all members are eventually required to adopt upon admittance; however, currently only seventeen out of twenty-seven members use the Euro, and two members (Denmark and the United Kingdom) have opt-outs on the situation, meaning they are not required to adopt the Euro. Croatia will be the newest member of the European Union in July of 2013 and has expressed that they will adopt the Euro in the near future. Yet, three micronations (Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City) have adopted the Euro as their official currency with the consent of the European Union, despite not being members themselves. In addition, Andorra, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Zimbabwe (an African nation) are unofficial users of the Euro.
So in total, the Euro is used by twenty-three out of fifty-one European nations (45%). However, once the remaining members of the European Union (and one future member) adopt the Euro (many of which within the next few years), this will total to thirty-two out of fifty-one European nations (63%). Furthermore, the European Union will most likely engulf the entire continent of Europe in the future, not likely by force as all European countries (with the exception of Switzerland) has expressed their desires to join the European Union. Once this is accomplished, the European Union will most likely fuse into one nation, due to it already being a supranational organization, and we will see either the entire continent of Europe, depending on the situation with Switzerland, under a single European government and currency: the Euro.
The European Common Market doesn't exist anymore. Over the years it's changed and growing, first it became the European Community, then changed to its present form as the European Union.
Most of the European Union (EU) uses the Euro, but some members, eg the UK, have kept their traditional currencies.
The Euro.
The euro is sometimes though of as the single currency of the European Union, and is denoted by the symbol "€." However, the European Union has 27 countries, of which only 17 use the Euro. The other 10 countries still use their own currencies. The 17 countries are referred to as the Eurozone. So it is more accurate to say that the euro is the single currency of the Eurozone, not the European Union.

common currency and single economy
Europe does not have one single currency. The most widely used currency is the Euro, which is the official currency in 18 countries of the European Union. The other 10 countries in the European Union do not use the Euro. Not all of Europe's countries are in the European Union but some of the European countries outside the European Union use the Euro. The majority of countries in Europe do not use the Euro.
