Twenty years have passed since European citizens living in the euro area started using the euro on a daily basis. Therefore, the euro has influenced not only the European and world economic system, but also the habits and customs of the European peoples.

In this debate, we started with a review of the history of the euro area and then we discussed about the benefits and costs associated with the common currency in light of the recent euro crisis. Additionally, students have shared their experience traveling and living in the European Union. In particular, one student told his experience traveling through Germany, France and Italy and that he found it convenient to change yen to a foreign currency, the euro only once although he visited three different countries.
