I worked on a project titled CIS2 (Currency Information System V2) created to keep track of all the euro coins & notes within the EC. There were 15 countries that were using the euro as their official currency. Within these countries each has its own National Bank as well as holding banks, money in transit, money being destroyed or waiting to be destroyed as well as money within the public. Each of these situations & well as many others had to be kept track of for reporting & auditing purposes.
