not only are first series euros still valid, but you can still exchange pre-Euro currencies for the original rate.
The purpose of the new series is just to keep up with counterfeit money, to include newer security measures.
But yes, countries in the world have revoked currencies from time to time.
- PTcartelsLOL 5y agoNo, you can't. They were only valid for 20 years, and 20 years have passed since 2002.

- johannes1234321 5y agoShops aren't required to take the old local currencies anymore, but they can still be swapped. Here for instances the information if the German Bundesbank, where you can still swap with the official rate of 1.95583 DM/€. https://www.bundesbank.de/de/aufgaben/bargeld/dm-banknoten-und-muenzen/-/umtausch-von-dm-in-euro-599338 https://www.bundesbank.de/de/aufgaben/bargeld/dm-banknoten-u... (Currently there is a restriction of in person service due to corona, but if you trust mail it works, else you have to wait for that Corona restriction to be lifted) That exchange works without limits or anything.
