The currencies closely linked to the Euro

Post by ART »

In addition to non-EU countries that use the Euro and emit it by means of bilateral agreement (San Marino, Vatican City, Monaco and Andorra), those who unilaterally adopt the euro as its national currency (Kosovo and Montenegro) and the dependent territories that adopt the Euro (Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British dependencies in Cyprus), there are other countries whose currencies are pegged to the euro by a fixed exchange rate or by a band of fluctuation permitted in observance of a defined central parity.

Here they are listed with its fixed exchange rate or fluctuation band (amount of local currency per 1 €) and precise origin of the peg.

is that correct?
EUR/MAD for 10 years
EUR/USD for 10 years
I have a different theory: 1 dirham equals 7.5 eurocents plus 2 US cents

But you can add Macedonia: 1 EUR has been about 61.0 MKD since 2006

And Albania: 1 EUR has been roughly 140 ALL since 2010.
