The currency of France is the Euro (€). France adopted the Euro in 2002, replacing its former currency, the French Franc (FRF). The Euro is used by 19 of the 27 European Union (EU) member countries, collectively known as the Eurozone. It facilitates trade and travel between member countries by eliminating the need for currency exchange, thereby promoting economic stability and integration. Besides its practical use, the Euro symbolizes European unity. The design of Euro banknotes and coins features various cultural and historical elements representative of Europe’s heritage, enhancing its significance beyond just a means of exchange.
