Between 19 and 22 December 2001, the 'Euro-village' exhibition - organised by the European Commission - was held in the Parc du Cinquantenaire, Brussels. The exhibition focussed on the euro information campaigns, bringing together mobile information units which, between 1999 and 2001, had been travelling throughout euro-zone countries providing information on the single currency. On 20 December 2001, days before the introduction of euro coins and notes, the commissioners visited the exhibition.
