The currency of Greece is the Euro (€). Greece adopted the Euro as its official currency in 2002, replacing its previous currency, the Drachma. The Euro is used by 19 of the 27 European Union (EU) member states and is one of the most widely traded currencies in the world. The transition to the Euro aimed to enhance economic stability and integration within the Eurozone. The currency symbolizes both unity among member states and the shared economic framework that governs them, contributing to easier trade and travel within Europe.
