The biggest difference would probably be changing the currency to Euros.

Pretty much, though that's not a requirement either. Sweden and Denmark still have their kroner, the Czechs have their koruna and Hungarians their forints. The euro is legal tender in all of these countries, but it's also legal tender in most parts of Norway already. 😂

I think you don't know what legal tender means. Speaking for Czechia, although euro might be accepted in some supermarkets and tourist oriented businesses, the legal tender is Czech koruna. I strongly suspect it's similar in other non-eurozone countries.

I stand corrected. I do know what legal tender means, and thought that the Euro was required to be accepted in all of the EU. Not any less confusing when your neighbours in Slovakia use the Euro and we were visiting Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the same trip. Good beer, btw.

All EU countries are supposed to eventually adopt the euro, including Sweden. Only Denmark has negotiated the right to not adopt the euro(unless they want to). So while countries can delay the euro adoption(indefinitely?), they are obligated to adopt it.
