The five-euro note (€5) is the lowest value of euro banknotes. It has been used since the introduction of the euro (in its cash form) in 2002. The note is the official currency of 21 of the 27 member states of the European Union, which are part of the Eurozone. The 21 Eurozone members are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. A number of non-EU member states, namely Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City have formal agreements with the EU to use the euro as their official currency and issue their own coins. In addition, Kosovo and Montenegro have adopted the euro unilaterally. The countries that use the euro have a total population of about 350 million currently. In April 2026, there were approximately 2,325,559,164 five-euro banknotes in circulation around the eurozone. It is the fifth-most widely circulated denomination, accounting for 7.2% of the total banknotes. Estimates suggest that the average life of a five-euro banknote is less than a year before it is replaced due to wear. Measuring 120 x 62 mm, it is the smallest of the euro notes, and has a grey colour scheme. The five-euro banknotes depict bridges and arches/doorways in Classical architecture (8th century BC–4th century AD). The five-euro note contains several complex security features such as watermarks, invisible ink, holograms and microprinting that document its authenticity. On 8 November 2012, the European Central Bank announced the first series of notes will be replaced by the Europa series, starting with the five-euro note. The design of the Europa series 5 euro banknote was revealed on 10 January 2013 and launched on 2 May 2013.
