For informational purposes, it is also noted that effective 1 January 1999, the euro became the official currency (without banknotes and coin) of 11 European countries. These countries are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Greece joined this group at the beginning of 2001. The countries’ national currencies were used until year-end 2001, and euro-denominated banknotes and coin were issued to replace them at the beginning of 2002. Since the beginning of 1999, the share of each national currency vis-à-vis the euro has been fixed.

Please note: On 1 July 2002, the Central Bank of Iceland discontinued the formal listing of exchange rates for the currencies replaced by the euro at the beginning of 2002. In a news release issued on 1 July 2002 (in Icelandic), the Bank explained this and published the coefficients to be used to calculate the exchange rate of discontinued currencies in terms of the euro exchange rate.
