The euro is the legal tender for more than 315 million people in 15 EU countries. The symbol for the euro is €. The euro notes are identical in all countries but each country issues its own coins with one common side and one side displaying a distinctive national emblem. All the notes and coins can be used in all EU countries that have adopted the euro, including many of their overseas entities, such as the Azores, the Canaries, Ceuta and Melilla, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Madeira, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City have adopted the euro as their national currency which also gives them the right to issue a certain number of euro coins with their own national sides. A number of territories and countries use the euro as their de facto currency such as Andorra, Kosovo and Montenegro. Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom do not currently use the euro. Cyprus and Malta joined the euro area in January 2008 and the nine other countries that have entered the EU since 2004 are committed to adopting the euro when they are ready. Euro banknotes are the banknotes of the euro, the currency of the eurozone (see European Union). They have been in circulation since 2002 and are issued by the European Central Bank (ECB), each bearing the signature of the President of the European Central Bank. Denominations of notes range from €5 to €500 and, unlike euro coins, the design is identical across the whole of the eurozone, although they are printed in each country.
