are all Euro currencies the same, ??????/////////////////////////?

Question

could u use the money in spain and travel anywhere which has euro currency and use it?

Answer 1

Yes, it's all one currency. Each country issues its own coins, with one side's design individual to the country that issued the coin, and the other side the same design as all the other countries, but the coins can be used in any country that uses the euro. It's quite interesting seeing where the coins in your change came from - from my last visit to Ireland I have two Irish €2 coins, and one each from Greece and Germany, an Irish €1, four Irish 20 cents and 2 Irish 5 cents. The only way of telling which country banknotes were printed for is the letter at the start of the serial number on the back - I'm going to Ireland next week, but the notes I've bought in the UK are all new, the €5 notes were all printed for the Netherlands (letter P), but all the €10, €20, and €50 notes I have were printed for Germany (X). While all the euro countries tended to print a full range of notes when the currency was first introduced, nowadays most of the countries only print a couple of the denominations, and bring in other values from other countries. Most countries don't print the €100, €200, and €500 notes - they're most popular in the German speaking countries, but if someone brings one of the notes into a country and spends it it's perfectly valid.

Answer 2

Yep, it is not the same as the Canadian Dollar or the Australian Dollar



The Euro was a currency created in the EU to eliminate the crazy diversity of currencies in the continent and creat a one single market in the area.



The project is to create some sort of a United States of Europe. So far there is a single currency, an European High Cort, an European parliament, all the passports in the EU say European Passport and then the specific country and all Europeans are free to move and work in any country of the EU, but the problem here is the diversity of languages.

Answer 3

You can in theory use any Euro note in any 'Euro' country, though the situation in Greece has led to some places in Italy and others countries preferring Euro notes printed somewhere else. This would not matter in larger shops or places like train stations or post offices.



The situation in the UK is not as easy as the other poster suggests - there may be tourist shops in London where you could pay in Euros, but you would not be given a good exchange rate. You can pay for things in the Airport Duty Free shops with them, but otherwise they will not be accepted. Certainly, you cannot pay for a train ticket with Euros, but there are Bureaux de Change on most train stations, and you might use an ATM to withdraw money from your account in pounds.

Answer 4

Yes. That's the point of having a common currency.

Answer 5

If we operated under the current US Constitution, then yes. Economic unity without political unity will cause more problems down the road.
