In the exam (German)
Ist der Euro in allen Mitgliedstaaten der EU das gesetzliche Zahlungsmittel?
- aYes, but only for bank transfers; cash is different in each country.Ja, aber nur für Banküberweisungen; das Bargeld ist in jedem Land anders.
- bNo. Some EU countries still have their own currency, for example Denmark with the Danish krone.Nein. Einige EU-Staaten haben weiterhin ihre eigene Währung, zum Beispiel Dänemark mit der Dänischen Krone.Correct answer
- cNo. Only the six countries that founded the European Community have the euro.Nein. Den Euro haben nur die sechs Staaten, die die Europäische Gemeinschaft gegründet haben.
- dYes. Every country must introduce the euro on the day it joins the EU.Ja. Jedes Land muss den Euro am Tag seines EU-Beitritts einführen.
Why?
Austria is part of the euro area, but not all EU countries have introduced the euro. Denmark, for example, has secured the right to keep its krone. The number of countries with the euro changes when more countries introduce it.

Our own practice questions on the content of the official learning material “Mein Österreich” and the federal states’ learning materials. They are not the real exam questions – those are not published – and we have not copied wording from the materials. Every question was answered a second time, independently, and checked against public sources. The English translation and the explanations were made with AI; in the exam the questions are asked in German. Not an official service: no connection with the Federal Ministry of the Interior or the offices of the state governments.
