Your answer was: 2000.
You are correct!!


Answer: On January 1, 1999, Italy replaced its Italian lira with the euro, with the official case date being 2002. In 2000, Italy and the Vatican City both signed a contract that allowed the Vatican to adopt the euro as its official currency as well, despite the Vatican not being a member of the European Union or Eurozone.

In 2004 the Vatican Post Office issues a series of stamps showing the Euro coins of various European countries.
