Title: Lithuania accepted to Euro Zone
Post by: Huntsman on July 23, 2014, 05:10:46 pm: Today, Lithuania has been accepted to Euro Zone. Lithuania will undoubtfully get Euros in 2015, January 1st. There currently is no English source as this was just announced on Lithuanian news. The Lithuanian Litas and Euro rates will be 3,45 Litas - 1 Euro. I'm kind of waiting for Euro, since there no longer will be the need to change our currency while traveling since I tend to go to Latvia a lot, but it's kinda hard to let Litas go. Not to mention us and Poland weere the last European continental countries (Continental, UK is an island) to still retain its own currency. I'll miss Maironis and Darius and GirÃ„â€”nas on my Litas bills :S

I tried to translate the Lithuanian article:

"Say good bye to Litas - Lithuania today was invited to EuroZone. Today in Brussels, ministers of all EU countries gathered to the common affairs council of EU, have agreed to let Lithuania join the Euro Zone next year and to become the 19th country to join the Euro zone. The Council has confirmed that the Euro and Lithuanian change rates will stay the same - 3,45 Litas per Euro."

Lithuanian euros:

Congratulations to Lithuania in Brussels:

I hope Poland gets to eurozone soon, as for now it is like Finland,Estonia,Latvia soon Lithuania then there's a gap and then comes Germany and all other...
Title: Re: Lithuania accepted to Euro Zone
Post by: Mr. Goobii on July 26, 2014, 06:33:26 pm: Sweden for example does have their own currency and many more. Though your friendly politicians wants to adopt the euro but that cannot be without an referendum by the people and it has been depreciated once, it will now too..

Now, congrats!
