    I went to Europe in the summer of '99. I still had to get my bank to get me all of the currencies for those countries prior to going and don’t recall having seen Euros at all at that point.

      The Euro as a currency was introduced in 1999 and at that point was only used for banks/institutions to interact with each other. Euro notes and coins were only introduced in 2002.
