Since January 1, 2002 the Euro is the official currency in the so called Euro zone of the European Community. All EC countries, except Sweden Denmark and the U.K., have decided to accept the Euro as "our money". However what seems to be forgotten in all early publicity is the fact that three other small "Countries", Vatican City, San Marino and Monaco, also decided to use the Euro.  Also the fact that Countries like Kosovo and Montenegro are now using the Euro as legal tender to substitute the D-Mark is no common knowledge.

Even far away from Europe in the French overseas departments the Euro is used as legal tender. So you are able to pay with the Euro in Reunion, Guyana, Guadeloupe and even in the French part of the isle St. Maarten. So, with the arrival of the Euro, a new era has started for Coin Collectors as well.

On this page you can find my personal Euro pages. Other Euro sites which might be interesting for (Euro) Coin Collectors can be found in the links section on my site.
