Lesson Brief
BBC Russian
Lithuania adopted the euro at the beginning of the year and the country's citizens are adjusting to the new currency. Almost immediately noticeable was a slight rise in prices on consumer goods and services. Lithuanians have also had to deal with an influx of counterfeit euros into the country in recent days. The country's government, however, assures that it will continue to work with citizens and businesses to ensure a smooth transition to the new currency throughout the coming months.
