Connor: Blog Of The Day

The euro is the national currency of Europe.  They are used in Germany, Ireland, Greece, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, France,  The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, and Finland.  The coins are worth 1 euro cent to 50 euro cents.  The bills are worth up to 500 euros.  There are coins equal to a euro bill or two euro bills kind of like the dollar coins we have in America.  The coins can be called by the names of the country's old currency.  That can get a bit confusing.  In the United Kingdom they don't use euros, but the euros are treated like foreign currency.  the exchange rate is 0.7009 euros is equal to one dollar here.  Sadly I have no idea what 0.7009 euros is in coins and have tried looking it up.
