Yes, this list is indeed a list of geographical locations, whether that region is part of some other country is somewhat irrelevant here. Let's not start those fights here, okay?

Ok I did't want to start a fight, just correct an information as those islands are the only regions that are mentioned and some people less informed may think that they are independent countries.

There are people that think that Portugal is a Part os Spain

Réunion an island near Madagascar ans is still missing from the list

It is listed, although as "Reunion Island".

golfinha,

The list is based on a combination of other lists that were on other various web sites. I think that it shows countries and territories. It lists the areas in continental Europe that officially use the euro plus it lists territories outside of continental Europe that officially use the euro. Although Madeira and Azores might be questionable since I think that they are part of continental Europe but others might disagree and say that they are not. Certainly the Canary Islands and the French Caribbean islands are not part of continental Europe. But other islands such as Ibiza and Corsica are part of continental Europe. The Aland Islands are also a part of continental Europe but I believe that they are autonomous and that Swedish is the official language.

Hello to everyone!

I noticed on the list of participants in eurozone also Montenegro. I think it should better be put at the bottom of the list, where also Kosovo is. In M'gro euro means de-facto currency, but it is not a member of the euroland (no members in ECB, no coins on their own etc.).

Hi folks!

What I was wondering about, and do even more after seing this list: what about "real" €-countries like Monaco, Andorra, Vatican or San Marino - dont they have their "own" € notes? "Own" as in trackable as their contingent, even if it was printed somewhere else. And if they have - what happens to those notes here at EBT?

I guess the answer is burried somwhere in the Forum already - sorry, I didnt have time to read it all yet.

These countries have an agreement with another country, like before the euro (the Italian lire in the Holy See and San Marino, the French franc in Monaco and Andorra, and the Spanish peseta, also in Andorra). A small part of money for Spain, France or Italy is designated to them. So officially, they have the notes of their big neighbour.
Even Luxemburg doesn't have notes of his own, although they do have the right to print notes.

So, those notes cannot be identified as Monaco notes for example, they would show as french here on EBT?
Well, thanks for the info!

Yup!
Although nowadays, these differences between the 12 start to fade away, too, because of the system of pooling notes.

So there are no printed noted just for these countries and they use euros coming from other countries. When they are entered to EBT, they look like this, this, this and this. So of course they are identified as "been there".

Hello fellow Boincer!

Yes, ok, if you see a note in Monaco, its "been seen" there - but it doesnt mean its been issued there originally (in 2002) . From it ser# its austrian and was printed in Greece...
Well, thats what makes the tracking interesting, I guess.

Davci, yes you make a good point. Montenegro in some ways is like other places such as Andorra. Both use the euro but they do not make their own euros. Also both do not have representation in the ECB. By the way, it is now less than two months before Slovenia joins the eurozone. What do the people of Slovenia think about this new change?

Slovenia will have its own series of coins. Anyone can view the Slovenian coins on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenian_euro_coins

or

http://www.evro.si/en/slo-and-euro/slovene-euro-coins/

The fact that neither site mentions notes would substantiate this claim.
Maybe the reason for not having Slovenia print its own notes is that too many notes in circulation can create an inflation.

That doesn't really make too much sense, because si will need notes, no matter where they will be printed.

I read in an article that they wait for the new series (2008 or 2010) before printing notes because they don't want to disorientate the population...

This doesn't make sense neither
