In this world, there is always a special day for us to remember forever.

January 1, 2002 was a day that would be remembered for years 21 . On that day, the euro became the official currency of twelve 22 countries, 23 currencies as famous as the German mark and French franc.

But one change from the old currencies to the 24 one was only a success 25 lots of problems were solved.

The first problem was 26 to call the new currency. People in different countries had different suggestions. After a long discussion, the name “euro” was 27 accepted by all of the countries 28 .

The next problem was the design. A normal bill or coin has a design 29 the country concerned, like the picture of a famous person or monument. So how could they design something 30 was 31 of twelve different countries and their traditions? The final answer was a compromise (折中) . Every euro coin has a standard European face on one side, but each Member State is allowed to 32 the other side with an image 33 their own county. For example, Spanish coins have the image of the Spanish king, and German coins have pictures of Berlin’s famous Brandenburg Gate. So 34 you can spend the coins in any of the twelve countries, you can tell which country they 35 came from. Euro bills will be uniform throughout the euro area.

The 36 problem was how to introduce the money. Imagine how complicated (复杂的) it was to change the kind of money you use, not just for ordinary people, but also for companies: Coca-Cola had to 37 almost 300,000 vending machines (自动售货机) to __38__ the new coins. 39 people get used to the idea, stores started 40 prices in both the old and the new currency from January 2000.

The final change from the old currencies to the new euro was a huge success. People in Europe are now using the euro bills and coins as easily as American use dollars.
