Description: Gold Plated miscellaneous banknote, lovely replacement for the circulating 10 Euro banknote. The euro was founded on 1 January 1999, when it became the currency of over 300 million people in Europe. For the first three years of its existence it was an invisible currency, only used in accountancy. Euro cash was not introduced until 1 January 2002, when it replaced the national banknotes and coins of the countries in eurozone 12, such as the Irish pound and the Austrian schilling. Slovenia joined the Eurozone in 2007, Cyprus and Malta in 2008, Slovakia in 2009, Estonia in 2011 and Latvia on 1 January 2014.The 10 euro note (€10) has been used since the introduction of the euro in its cash form in 2002.Measuring 120 x 62 mm, it is the smallest of the euro notes, and has a grey colour scheme.

The 12 stars from the flag are also incorporated into every note.The notes also carry the acronyms of the name of the European Central Bank in five linguistic variants, covering all official languages of the EU in 2002.
