The euro is a popular currency that was introduced to most European Union countries and has been in circulation in cash since 2002. The creation of the euro area allows the use of the euro by over 341 million Europeans who do not have to plan to exchange currency in an exchange office when traveling between countries using the same currency. The first plans to create a monetary union were drawn up in the ‘60s, but it was not until 1979 that the European monetary system was created, the main goal of which was to regulate the political and economic situation.
The euro is a unique currency not only because it is used by so many countries, but also because of its unique appearance. Coins vary from country to country, showing architectural features unique to a particular region. For example, French coins 1 and 2 symbolize prosperity and a thriving homeland through a tree built into the hexagon. Greece, on the other hand, used symbols associated with mythology. The sides of the coins are common to all euro area member countries, and the coins themselves can be used throughout the currency area, no matter what they show. Coins are available in denominations of 1 and 2 euro and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents.
Euro banknotes, unlike coins, do not differ from country to country and come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500. Especially for collectors, unique copies of euro coins and banknotes have been issued, which can of course be sold at the currency exchange office, but in reality their collector value greatly exceeds certain denominations.
The euro is probably the most frequently exchanged currency in Polish exchange offices. Exchanges at the exchange office can be made in the traditional way, using cash, but more and more users of online exchange offices recommend exchanging at the exchange office without leaving home. The Internet allows you to follow the current euro exchange rate and take advantage of the currency exchange at the most convenient time.

Currency exchange is very popular not only among tourists. In order to earn money by exchanging and trading currencies, you should know in detail what exactly depends on the value of a specific currency at a given moment and when it should be exchanged at the exchange office.
