Explanation
The Euro was introduced as an electronic currency on January 1, 1999, but cash transactions began on January 1, 2002. This was a significant step towards economic integration within the European Union, as the Euro as a common currency facilitated trade and mobility among member states. The introduction of Euro banknotes and coins represented both a symbolic and practical transition to a unified European currency.
