The euro celebrates its 25th anniversary!
In the 1960s, the concept of a shared currency began to take shape in Europe.
The dream became a reality in 1999 with the introduction of the euro for accounting and electronic payments across 11 EU countries.
The highlight came in 2002, when physical euro coins and banknotes were launched, marking the largest cash changeover in history.
Today, nearly 350 million people in 20 EU countries rely on the euro daily.
Cheers to the euro! π
