Eurodollar

The European Currency Unit (symbol: § or €$; and abbreviated to ecu), more commonly referred to as Eurodollar (ed) or Eurobuck (eb), and colloquially known as ebuck and eddie, is the main currency used by various countries in the Cyberpunk world.

Background
The European Currency Unit became the primary currency of the European Economic Community when both were created by the EEC treaty of 1992. It is one of the most used currencies in the Cyberpunk timeline, with most nations either recognizing it as an official currency or giving it a highly favorable exchange rate by the year 2004. By the 2020s, it was widely used in Night City and the rest of the United States of America.

The United Soviet Sovereign Republics are one of the few known exceptions to this, having no official exchange rate and forbidding banks from exchanging the Russian Federal Ruble for eurodollars. In 2020, eurodollar transactions made up approximately 25% of worldwide trade.

By 2077, it is the only official currency of many countries in the North Atlantic, including the New United States of America and most in Europe, as well as autonomous polities like Night City.

Denominations
In 2020, eurodollars appeared in denominations of 1§, 5§, 10§, 20§, 50§, 100§, and 500§. Bills were made of hologram-marked, damage-resistant cloth-like paper. Eurodollar coinage came in fractions of a eurodollar, or cents, of 0.10§, 0.25§, 0.50§, and 1§ coins. Coins were made of nickel, tin, and aluminum. By 2077, the 100€$ denomination was a depiction of an unknown city, specifically being a Series A 2055 bill, with the inscription of "GET RICH OR DIE TRYING" in the bottom center.
