Thus 17 of the Member States of the European Internal Market have
adopted the Euro.
Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City also use the Euro, although they
are not officially Euro members nor members of the EU. These countries use
- and mint - the Euro by virtue of agreements concluded with EU member states (Italy in
the case of San Marino and Vatican City, France in the case of Monaco), on
behalf of the European Community. Andorra, Montenegro, and Kosovo, which
are also not EU members, have adopted the euro unilaterally, as have the
Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia on the island of Cyprus. |
