Countries like Greece, Portugal, and Italy have faced significant economic challenges since adopting the euro. Greece, in particular, experienced a severe debt crisis, leading to austerity measures that exacerbated social and economic issues. Portugal and Italy have also struggled with stagnant growth and high unemployment rates, making it difficult for these nations to recover fully. The inability to control their monetary policy has limited their options for addressing these economic hardships.

The Euro zone is the group of countries that had adopted the Euro (€) as their currency. On the 27 countries in the EU, 15 countries belong to the zone Euro.

Denmark has had an opt-out on adopting the Euro since 1992. A referendum to adopt the Euro was held in 2000, but was rejected by just over half the population. Danish politicians have pushed for another referendum since 2000, with Danish supporting for adopting the Euro rising ever since then. However, when the European debt crisis hit in 2008, support for the Euro fell dramatically. Adopting the Euro is now opposed by about 2/3 of Danes. The United Kingdom is the only other country to have an official opt-out on joining the Eurozone. The British oppose adopting the Euro much more than the Danes, European debt crisis or not. If and when the European debt crisis subsides, Denmark could very well hold another referendum and vote for the Euro in the future.
Positive consequences of adopting the Euro includes enlarging a connected market source; almost thirty countries in the world would share the same currency. Negative consequences of adopting the Euro includes adopting a currency that is currently on the decline, however, it is predicted that the Euro will pick up. This will happen over a long period of time, however. Possibly a decade or more.
