Changeover to the euro

As 1 January 2022 marked the 20th anniversary of the historic changeover to euro bank notes and coins, various EU events and tributes are taking place to commemorate the event (#EUROAT20).

The Council Library has prepared a library guide consisting of a collection of books, articles, web pages and video footage recounting the 2002 currency transition. The film clips capture a nostalgic memory for many people – the image of Europeans clutching the brand new coins and bills for the first time. 

Please note:
