On
January 1, 2002, Monaco, along with 12 member-states of
the European Union, will officially adopt a single
European currency- the Euro.
From that day forward, Euro banknotes and coins will
replace the French Franc in all transactions.
Seven different Euro banknotes ranging from 5 to 500
Euros will be introduced, along with coins ranging from
one cent to two Euros.
All old banknotes and coins will be completely phased out
by February 28, 2002, although banks will exchange French
Francs for Euros up until March 28, 2002.
For more information, please call the Monaco Tourist
Office at (800) 753-9696.
