Before the Euroīetween 19, Austria had the Schilling (symbol: ATS) which replaced the Krone largely used in the time of the monarchy. German-minted coins seem quite common, for example. Since each country’s coins are accepted across the Eurozone, you’ll find those in Vienna feature designs from many countries. Vienna appears on three of the Austrian-minted coins: The Euro currency is, of course, shared with numerous other European countries within the Eurozone: Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.Īustria uses the full range of Euro coins (one, two, five, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins plus the one and two Euro coins) and notes (five, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Euros).

1 cent coins are useful for absolutely nothing.

50 cent coins are great for those public toilets that are not free.

€1 coins are useful for operating museum lockers.

Carry some Euro notes and coins with you in Vienna (it’s not a cashless society yet).The currency in Austria is the Euro (symbol: €) and has been ever since January 1st, 2002.
