Today it is the official currency of 20 European Union member states, collectively known as the eurozone, making it one of the most widely used currencies in the world.

Regional Notes
Eurozone (EU): All 20 eurozone countries use the same cent and euro coinage. Prices are displayed with a euro symbol (€) followed by the amount (e.g., €1.50). Some countries have unique national designs on the reverse of their euro coins while maintaining the common obverse design.
United Kingdom: The UK uses the pound sterling (£) divided into 100 pence, not euros. Travelers to the EU from the UK can use this calculator to convert between pounds and euros using the current exchange rate, though for precise conversions a live exchange rate tool is recommended.
United States: The US uses the US dollar ($) divided into 100 cents. While the term "cent" is shared, euro cents and US cents are different currencies. This calculator converts specifically between euro cents and euros, not US cents.
