1.00 USD United States Dollars = 1.64038 DEM\nGermany Deutsche Marks (obsolete)\n\n1.00 USD United States Dollars = 7.84828 SEK\nSweden Kronor\n\nHowever,  On January 1, 1999, eleven of the countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) decided to give up their own currencies and adopt the Euro (EUR) currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Greece followed suit on January 1, 2001. The Vatican City also participated in the changeover. This changeover is now complete.\n\nEuro bank notes and coins began circulating in the above countries on January 1, 2002. At that time, all transactions in those countries were valued in Euro, and the "old" notes and coins of these countries were gradually withdrawn from circulation. The precise dates that each "old" currency ceased being legal tender are noted in the table below...\n\n1.00 USD United States Dollars =  0.838647 EUR\nEuro

The twelve yellow stars on a blue field were officially adopted as the symbol of the European Community on 26 May 1986. \n\nIncreasing the number of stars every time new countries join would be silly.\n\nThere were six original founding countries.\n\nIt's all here:\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/eu-eun.html#his

You are completely correct. The Euro was introduced in 1999 so whoever said it wasn't introduced until 2002 hasn't got a clue what they are talking about. The Euro was introduced as physical banknotes in 2002 but from 1999 it was launched for bank transactions, accounting and most relevant to your question for the financial markets (i.e. you could trade oil in Euros).\n\nThe Iraq war began primarily because Iraq began selling its oil (through the oil for food program) in Euros. The harm that this does to the US economy is easy to see. $1 is worth about €1.23 - thus oil from countries that sell their oil in Euros becomes more expensive in the US.\n\nBasically many economies rely on the strength of their currency backed by gold but in the US their currency is quite weak (e.g. nearly $2 for every British pound) and to prop up this failing currency they use oil. Higher oil prices would lead to increased interest rates and higher inflation rates and this is something that the US can ill afford. Thus when Saddam began selling in Euros something had to be done about it. Now Iran has cut dollar transactions to a minimum and we have seen what has happened to ol prices. I would hazzard a guess that many more countries may follow suit. I would hazzard a guess that maybe Venuzuela will be the next to do so.

Germany now uses the Euro. It used the Mark until 1999.

the United States did not have a mint in 1727, i don't think.\n\nhere's a pic of the 1727 penny though: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/S.6604.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/Irish%2520Coins.html&h=290&w=577&sz=21&tbnid=S480z8py9ThDCM:&tbnh=66&tbnw=132&hl=en&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3D1727%2Bpenny%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

This instance of the invention is credited to John Shepherd-Barron, although Luther George Simjian registered patents in New York, USA in the 1930s and Donald Wetzel and two other engineers from Docutel registered a patent on June 4, 1973. Shepherd-Barron was awarded an OBE in the 2005 New Year's Honours.

yes. their system interchanged the use of the period and the comma as seperators so that they seperate thousands using the period and the decimal part of a number is seperated or indicated through a comma so that three thousand euro and twenty cents is written as €3.000,20.

You can find them on eBay, but they cost more than $500.00.\n\n-Cory\n\n\nOn July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose. While these notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today, the Federal Reserve Banks remove them from circulation and destroy them as they are received.

The history of the US Mint starts when the subject of a National Mint for the United States was first introduced by Robert Morris.  During the Confederation the different States had the unquestioned right to coin money, but only according to the standard of fineness, weight, and value, prescribed by the central government.  As head of the Finance Department, Mr. Morris was instructed by Congress to prepare a report on the foreign coins, then in circulation in the United States. On the 15th of January, 1782, he laid before Congress an exposition of the whole subject. Accompanying this report was a plan for American coinage. But it was mainly through his efforts, in connection with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, that a mint was established in the early history of the Union of the States. On the 15th of April, 1790, Congress instructed the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, to prepare and report a proper plan for the establishment of a National Mint, and Mr. Hamilton presented his report at the next session. An act was framed establishing what became the US Mint, which finally passed both Houses and received President Washington's approval April 2, 1792.

United States. Department of Treasury. Dime. Coin. 1968.\n\nIt looks stupid, but this is probably how it should be. It would be easier to quote someone else who has quoted the coin. Also, if it is common knowledge, you might not even need to cite it.

I think they just held Cebit2006 about a month ago (in Germany i guess, but i forgot).  Try googling and search for Cebit.  That is the biggest electronic and computer exhibition.

It is not a specific currency.  Its a silver coin designed by FIFA, approx. twice the size of a quarter.  In one side you can see the FIFA official Seal, and on the other side you see the letters FIFA.
