<h1> GnuCash and the EURO</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2> Introduction</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On January 1, 1999, eleven European Union countries formed
|
||||
an economic and monetary union (EMU) and started using a single
|
||||
currency - the euro. These countries locked the exchange rates
|
||||
of their national currencies to the euro and are sharing the
|
||||
new currency.</p>
|
||||
<p>However, euro notes and coins will not be available until
|
||||
January 1, 2001. Until then, the old national currency notes
|
||||
and coins (French francs, Deutschmarks etc) will continue to
|
||||
circulate. But in law they are part of the euro. Their value
|
||||
in euro is completely fixed. All kinds of cashless monetary
|
||||
transactions like cheques or wire transfers are possible in
|
||||
euro</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can find more information about the euro at:
|
||||
<a href="http://europa.eu.int/euro"> http://europa.eu.int/euro
|
||||
</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2> EMU Member Countries and Exchange Rates</h2>

||||
|
||||
<a name="euro_iso_curr"></a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The following table shows the EMU member countries and
|
||||
the respective exchange rates of the euro to the old national
|
||||
currencies. More countries are expected to join the EMU later.</p>
