Summary
<p>With an initial exchange rate of USD 1.1789, the euro was born on January 1st of 1999. It began to operate as an electronic currency, used in financial markets and for cashless payments. However, it wouldn’t be until three years later, that is the beginning of 2002, when the Euro coins and notes that we all know today began to circulate. Since then, 20 years have passed, a time in which the new European currency has gone through both good and bad times. It's time to ask us some questions: What assessment can we make of the 20 years that the euro has been part of most Europeans’ daily lives? What challenges does it face? What happens with the arrival of Blockchain and cybercrime? Well, thanks to the support and sponsorship of the European Central Bank, some of VisualPolitik’s team members traveled to Frankfurt to seek answers to these questions and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the European currency.</p>
