National currencies cease to exist in 1999 when the euro was first launched. However at this time existing notes and coins continued to circulate. The physical euro banknotes and coins where introduced on 1st January 2002 and previous national currency notes and coins where withdrawn from circulation. The national notes and coins ceased to be acceptable forms of payment by the end of February 2002.

How many countries introduced euro coins and banknotes from the beginning?

Depending on what you call "the beginning", the answer is either 11 or 12 countries. When the eurozone was established it initially consisted of Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland. Starting in 1999 prices, electronic transactions, and other financial calculations in those countries began to be performed in euros as well as their national currencies but euro coins and bills weren't yet used. Greece joined the eurozone in 2001, bringing the total membership to 12 countries when euro coins and bills officially replaced national currencies during the first quarter of 2002.
