- Month-end euro foreign exchange reference rates (last trading day of each month, latest point ), served by the Frankfurter API (api.frankfurter.dev), which republishes the European Central Bank reference rates. Fetched 19 October 2026.
- Rates before 1999 do not exist for the euro; January 1999 is the first month-end. China, Brazil and India start in January 2000. Turkey is shown in the new lira (the old lira divided by one million); Iceland is left out for gaps in the series.
