Features: This book uses numerous photographs and comic illustrations to provide an internal look at how the euro emerged and grew in the process of European economic and political integration, quickly becoming one of the two major international monetary systems alongside the U.S. dollar. It systematically explains various aspects of the euro's design, production, management agencies, operational mechanisms, and policy regulations. It also explains the mystery of why Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom joined the EU but rejected the euro. The glossy paper color illustrations include full designs of all euro banknotes and illustrations, specifications, and material compositions of 12 countries' euro coins. At the end is the Chinese translation of EU-related treaties, agreements, and laws.
