The one hundred euro note (€100) is one of the higher value euro banknotes and has been used since the introduction of the euro (in its cash form) in 2002.[7] The note is used in the 25 countries (and Kosovo) that have adopted the euro as their sole currency, representing some 350 million people.[8][9] In July 2024, there was an estimated 3,987,000,000 hundred euro banknotes in circulation in the eurozone. The note is the third most widely-circulated denomination, accounting for 13.3% of the total banknotes.[10]
The design of the Europa series 100 euro banknote was revealed on 17 September 2018 and launched on 28 May 2019.[11]
