Currency of Belgium - Euro

The euro is subdivided into 100 cents. These are often called eurocents, particularly to distinguish them from other currencies that may also have cents.
 
The euro is issued in coins in the following denominations, 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents , 10 cents , 20 cents, 50 cents 1 euro and 2 euros.
 
Bank notes are issued in denominations of 5,10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500.
 
The euro is depicted by the symbol €.
 
Due to the fact that this is a relatively new currency, various anti-counterfeit security features have been incorporated into the euros to try and prevent fraud and fake bank notes coming into circulation.
 
This has resulted in a currency that is relatively stable and does not suffer a great deal from being counterfeited.
 
The notes are all of a common design and have the theme of European architecture. However, none of the buildings or gateways represented on the notes actually exist. Rather, they depict conceptual architecture, so that individual countries do not argue about which of their buildings or architectural features should be displayed on the Euros.
 
Some countries, particularly those that are not as rich as others do not print the €500 note. But as inflation increases, it is likely that this will become more frequently used.
