For the first time the euro was introduced for the possibility of calculating the January 1, 1999, then it was the only non-cash banking transactions. However, not all member states of the EU have come to the euro. The exceptions are Sweden and Denmark, where the results of the referendum residents abandoned the euro, as well as England, who wished to use the pound sterling, Switzerland - francs and so on.
During the creation of the euro, special attention was paid to bank notes are easy to use for blind people. To them it was easier to distinguish the dignity of notes, all notes are slightly different in size, and numbers are printed by gravure printing in relief. About people with low vision have not forgotten, especially for them all the notes have contrasting colors, and numbers are printed round-point type.
