The currency of the proposed European Monetary Union is the euro.

The euro was formally introduced as the new common currency for participating EU members (accounting start in 1999 and physical notes and coins circulated from 2002), replacing national currencies in the founding members and serving as the single monetary unit of the EMU [2]. Thus, among the given choices (Dollar, Euro, Guilder, Mark), “Euro” is the correct answer.
