Lithuania does not use the Euro. It's currency is the Litas. Only 17 of the 27 countries that are members of the organisation called the European Union use the Euro. The other 10 countries, Lithuania being one of them, use their own currencies.
I believe it was proposed that Lithuania would use Euro from 2010, but no, not now. The installment of Euros got postponed several times. Euro, though, is circulated in Lithuanian banks, but you cannot use an Euro to buy things.
