The question "how often are the euros" is ambiguous as "euros" can refer to either the euro currency (banknotes and coins) or the UEFA European Championship ("the Euros") football tournament. From the search results, here are two relevant interpretations and answers:
- How often are euro banknotes printed?
- Euro banknotes are printed continuously as needed to meet demand and replace unfit banknotes. The volumes produced annually are forecast by national central banks and the European Central Bank and approved by the ECB's Governing Council. The production varies depending on expected demand surges and seasonal peaks, but there is no fixed period like annually. For example, in recent years millions of notes of each denomination have been produced annually by various national banks.
- How often is the UEFA European Championship ("the Euros") held?
- The Euros football tournament is held every 4 years. This has been consistent since 1960 except that Euro 2020 was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The next Euros is scheduled for 2024 in Germany and then in 2028. The four-year cycle allows for long-term team preparation and marketing planning.
If the question is specifically about the currency euro banknotes or coins, the answer is that they are printed/produced on an ongoing basis with volume adjusted each year to meet demand. If the question is about the UEFA European Championship, the answer is that the tournament is held every four years. Please specify which "euros" the question refers to if a more specific answer is needed.
