The Euro was introduced in 1999 as an electronic currency and was later introduced as physical banknotes and coins in 2002.

The Euro is managed by the European Central Bank (ECB) and plays a crucial role in the global economy. It is used not just for local transactions within the Eurozone but also serves as a reserve currency for many countries and can be found in international trade. Exchange rates for the Euro can fluctuate based on economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market sentiment.
