Greece began using the Euro notes and coins the same day as everyone else, on 1/1/02 (See Wikipedia entry "Enlargement of the Euro Zone". However, the Euro was born in the form of an accounting unit, replacing the "ECU", in 1/1/99, so that it could be used for electronic commerce and travelers checks. Greece joined after that date, so the Drachma/Euro exchange rate was fixed in 2000.
