There are two ways of looking at that. What is now known as the European Union started as the European Economic Community in 1957. All six of the founding members use the Euro. They are France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. When the European Union officially came into existence in 1993, there were 15 members. 12 of them started using the euro when it was launched. The three that did not were Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom. There are now 28 members of the European Union, of which 18 use the Euro and 10 do not.
