Germany uses the Euro (€) as its official currency. The Euro is also the official currency of many other countries in the European Union (EU), and it is used by over 340 million people in Europe. The Euro is divided into 100 cents and comes in coins and banknotes of various denominations. The coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as €1 and €2 coins. The banknotes come in denominations of €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, and €500.
When visiting Germany, it’s a good idea to have some Euros on hand for small transactions, such as buying a coffee or a souvenir. You can exchange your currency for Euros at banks, exchange offices, or ATMs. It’s also common to use credit cards or debit cards for larger transactions, such as paying for hotels or rental cars. Many businesses in Germany accept major credit cards, but it’s a good idea to check with your bank or credit card company to confirm any fees or restrictions that may apply when using your card abroad.
