As would I. I don’t think adopting the Euro is a requirement though.

@HiMYSYeD

From Chapter 17 of the Conditions for Membership:

“New Member States are also committed to complying with the criteria laid down in the Treaty in order to be able to adopt the euro in due course after accession.”

Part of being in the EU is the free flow of goods across borders and a common currency is what makes that straightforward without the need for currency exchange processes and bureaucracy.

Chapters of the acquis

The conditions and timing of the candidate's adoption, implementation and enforcement of all current EU rules (the "acquis").

@Sanderde
There are a number of countries in the EU that haven’t adopted the Euro. Sweden and Denmark among them.

List of European Countries That Don't Use Euro and Why

Despite being members of the European Union, seven countries do not use the euro as their primary currency. Here's why.

Once upon a time,

For one year,

I was Vice-President of the Toronto Dollar local currency :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_…

I couldn't get enough Board votes to re-jig it,

Resulting in it going into a coma :

thebulletin.ca/toronto-dollar-…

That plus my experience with Salt Spring Island Dollars,

When I lived in Vancity,

Informed me on how Canadians might respond to adopting The Euro...

With a slight in-joke and nod the British entering then exiting the EU,

It's not our cup of tea.

@HiMYSYeD
Perhaps it was due to the presentation that Toronto dollars didn’t survive.

Canadian Tire money became digital in 2012 and has evolved into Triangle Rewards. Takes the fun away of finding a couple of 10¢ scrip tucked away in the glove compartment though.

As for moving to the euro, the Canadian dollar doesn’t have the long histories of the European currencies that some countries chose to retain. And the argument of having the monarch on our currency would be settled.
