Cost
Montenegro uses euro. It is one of the many European countries that use the single currency. All euro banknotes and coins are legal tender in all countries that use them.
Countries that have the euro as their official currency:
|
The euro is divided into 100 cents.
The official symbol of the euro is €, and the ISO code is EUR. There is no official symbol of the euro cents.
- Banknotes: Euro banknotes have the same design in all countries.
- Regular coins: All euro countries issue euro coins with a typical national design on one side and a common design on the other. The coins can be used in any Eurozone country, regardless of the design they depict. (eg a one euro coin from Finland can be used in Portugal).
- Commemorative coins of two euros: These differ from regular two euro coins on their "national" side, and are legally traded. Each country can mint a certain number of them, and sometimes "pan-European" two-euro commemorative coins are minted for important events (eg the anniversary of an important treaty).
- Other commemorative coinsCommemorative coins of other denominations (eg ten euros or more) are rarer, and have a special design, often containing some gold, silver or platinum. While they are technically a legal medium of exchange, their collectible value is greater than their face value, and you are therefore unlikely to find them in the everyday market.
