The chart shows the value of 1 EUR in USD. It uses the available recorded observations, which may cover only part of a selected period. The historical timeline below is separate from the rate archive.
Look up a historical rate →Statistics use available daily observations, not intraday highs or lows. The mean gives each recorded day equal weight. Missing days are not filled. This is historical context, not a forecast.
Compare the same amount at the current reference quote and a historical observation. Fees and inflation are excluded. If there is no observation on the selected date, we use the preceding one, at most 4 days earlier, and show its date.
The euro begins as book money, used for accounting and electronic payments. National notes and coins remain in use.
