About EMU currencies

The EMU national currencies are the currencies of the 12 member countries of the Economic and Monetary Union: Belgian Franc, German Mark, Greek Drachma, Spanish Peseta, French Franc, Irish Punt, Italian Lira, Luxembourgian Franc, Dutch Guilder, Austrian Schilling, Portuguese Escudo and Finnish Mark.

On the basis of the irrevocable Euro conversion rates fixed by the European Council, EMU national currencies are non-decimal subdenominations of the European single currency, the Euro, just as the Pfennig or centime are (decimal) subdenominations of the German Mark or French Franc, respectively.

What's in the EMU currencies list?

On top of the list is the "None" currency that you can select if you want to use FinLease as a currency independent application.

Next is the Euro, which is used by FinLease as the base currency for all currency conversions.

Finally the 12 EMU national currencies are listed with their ISO codes, their symbol (if added), their irrevocable euro conversion rates, the date when the Euro replaced them, a preview of their selected rounding and the indication whether the currency is shown in the Currency menu.
