What are euro cents and euro currency?

Before discussing the conversion of cents to euros, here is some information about the euro. On January 1, 1999, EMU (Economic and Monetary Union), and therefore the creation of the euro provided for in the Maastricht Treaty (1992), was officially established between eleven Member States (out of fifteen at the time). However, euro coins and banknotes were put into circulation only on January 1, 2002. Today, it is the official currency of 20 countries in the eurozone, making it one of the most widely used currencies in the world.

The euro (€) is divided into 100 smaller units called cents. For instance, this means:

100 cents = €1.00.
1 cent to euro = €0.01; and
50 cents to euros = €0.50.

If you ask, "How many cents are in a euro?", the answer is always "100." It's the same principle as the US dollar, where 100 cents equals one dollar. To convert US currency, you can use our cents to dollars calculator.
