Each member country of the Economic Union (EU) had their own currency. Then they decided to adopt a common currency - the euro. Britain refused to adopt the euro, and kept Sterling (£) as her currency. The French had the Franc, Germany had the German Mark (Deutsche Mark), Belgium had the Belgian Franc, and so on. They all adopted the euro, except Britain.
