The Euro

The Euro (EUR) was a common currency in use within the majority of the member states of the European Union, up until its collapse.

The currency saw its formal introduction on 1st January 1999 at a value of US $1.17 to a single Euro. For a time it was the world's second largest reserve currency.

Following the Cordis Die cyber-attack on the Chinese Stock Market in 2018, the Euro reached a peak value of 1 Euro to US$3.25.

International trading of the Euro ceased on 28th April 2025; while the value of the currency had been fluctuating for some time, its closing value was US $0.19.
