The euro is divided into 100 cents.The currency is also used officially by the institutions of the European Union, by four European microstates that are not EU members, the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, as well as unilaterally by Montenegro and Kosovo. Outside Europe, a number of special territories of EU members also use the euro as their currency. Additionally, over 200 million people worldwide use currencies pegged to the euro. The euro is the second-largest reserve currency as well as the second-most traded currency in the world after the United States dollar. As of December 2019, with more than €1.3 trillion in circulation, the euro has one of the highest combined values of banknotes and coins in circulation in the world.The name euro was officially adopted on 16 December 1995 in Madrid. The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999, replacing the former European Currency Unit (ECU) at a ratio of 1:1 (US$1.1743). Physical euro coins and banknotes entered into circulation on 1 January 2002, making it the day-to-day operating currency of its original members, and by March 2002 it had completely replaced the former currencies.Between December 1999 and December 2002, the euro traded below the US dollar, but has since traded near parity with or above the US dollar, peaking at US$1.60 on 18 July 2008 and since then returning near to its original issue rate. On 13 July 2022, the two currencies hit parity for the first time in nearly two decades due in part to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

While the euro dropped subsequently to US$0.8252 within two years, it has traded above the US dollar since the end of 2002, peaking at US$1.6038 on 18 July 2008.

Examples of Euro in a Sentence

1. Matthias Wissmann:

   A Greek exit from the euro zone can no longer be taboo, it could - if combined with a wise future strategy from the euro countries - even contribute to the stabilisation of the euro zone ... The markets need dependability.

2. Peter Dixon:

   Investors who were heavily exposed to Greece have cut their exposure hugely ... But a drop of 10 percent for European stocks is entirely possible (in the event of Greece leaving the euro zone), that's the price to pay for the markets which have over the course of the last couple of years really not taken into account these risks.

3. Elias Suliar Nicolau:

   I have not received one euro in the past month and a half.

4. Matthias Wissmann:

   It could - if combined with a wise future strategy from the euro countries - even contribute to the stabilisation of the euro zone ... The markets need dependability.

5. Ulrich Leuchtmann:

   There doesn't seem any fundamental reason behind the move this morning. It can happen in markets where banks are taking on less risk than in the past, in general, we expect the euro to fall but only in a slow manner. We will see some gains for the dollar as the Fed raises rates, but it will not happen in a big, front-loaded way as we have seen in previous cycles, the moves will be slower.
