Best Answer

Euro coins and notes were put into general circulation at the start of 2002.

The transition period began in 1999, requiring billions of coins and banknotes to be prepared in advance. All banknotes in the advance printing carry a 2002 series date regardless of when they were actually made, but each member state of the eurozone was allowed to decide how its coins would be dated. Some opted to use the same 2002 date on all coins, while others used the actual minting date and simply stockpiled them until 2002.

When did Eu start using the Euro?

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.
