Maastricht obliged current members to join the euro; however, the United Kingdom and Denmark negotiated exemptions from that requirement for themselves. Sweden turned down the euro in a 2003 referendum.   Several small European states (The Vatican, Monaco and San Marino), although not EU members, have adopted the euro due to currency unions with member states. Andorra, Montenegro and Kosovo have adopted the euro unilaterally. The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency in 1999 and launched as physical coins and banknotes in 2002.      Check out our other items   Be sure to add us to your favourite sellers list Place a Bid!
