Not only Finnish. Mind you, I'm German. From north to south
and east to west, the Euro is used in Finland, Ireland, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, France,
Andorra (I assume), Monaco, Italy, the Vatican City, San
Marino, Portugal, Spain and Greece. Also, the Euro is used
in the French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOMs)
AFAIK.

The Euro coins and bills were introduced on January 1, 2003,
but it has been used as a currency since 1999.
