Although their country has traditionally been one of the keener advocates of the European Union, Dutch voters echoed those in France when a referendum spurned the proposed EU constitution in 2005.   Full name: The Kingdom of the Netherlands Population: 16.3 million (UN, 2005) Capital: Amsterdam; seat of government: the Hague Area: 41,864 sq km (16,164 sq miles) Major language: Dutch Major religion: Christianity   UK Payment: Paypal (preferred) or Postal Orders  Overseas Payment: By Paypal only       The euro (currency sign: €; banking code: EUR) is the official currency of the Eurozone (also known as the Euro Area), which consists of the European states of Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.   While all European Union (EU) member states are eligible to join if they comply with certain monetary requirements, not all EU members have chosen to adopt the currency.   All nations that have joined the EU since the 1993 implementation of the Maastricht Treaty have pledged to adopt the euro in due course. 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!
