The date for the launch of the euro banknotes and coins has been fixed at 1 January 2002 .

The quantity of euro banknotes to be printed before the launch date of 1 January 2002 will be determined by two factors first , the quantity of banknotes required to replace the stocks of national banknotes in circulation ( launch stocks ) in the participating countries and , second , the logistical stocks which will be necessary to ensure that the banknote changeover process operates smoothly .

The estimate for the launch stocks was derived from national banknotes in circulation ( 11.7 billion banknotes at end 2000 ) , although it turned out that fewer banknotes were needed .

Estimating how many banknotes to print The national central banks ( NCBs ) estimated their own euro banknote requirements for the launch and for the rest of 2002 .

The storage of euro banknotes and coins prior to the launch date will be an essential element to be considered in this connection .

All banknotes are put into circulation by the NCBs , which accommodate any demand for euro banknotes by launching annual banknote production orders and by operating a Eurosystem wide stock management system .

The estimates of the number of euro banknotes to be printed before the launch will be updated annually , in order to take account of possible changes in the demand for the banknotes .
