Question
When was the Euro officially adopted as the common European currency?
Solution
The Euro was officially adopted as the common currency of the European Union for electronic transactions and accounting purposes in January 1999. However, the physical Euro banknotes and coins were only introduced into circulation later, in January 2002. This two-stage implementation allowed for a transition period for financial markets and systems to adapt to the new currency.
