Germany uses euro (€) as there national currency.

Germany sends more money, not troops, to Afgammastan Germany, sensitive to mounting criticism from the U.S., Canada and Great Britain over its fear of risking soldiers' lives in Afghanistan, is expanding its efforts in the country's dangerous southern region. But instead of sending troops, Chancellor Angela Merkel's shaky coalition government, dealing with a largely pacifist electorate wary of foreign military engagements, is sending money to fund reconstruction of technical high schools. The aid will be funneled to Kandahar, where the majority of Canada's 2,500 troops are based, and Khost, in eastern Afghanistan near the volatile Pakistan border.
