The Euro

Recommended Posts

A question for those who live in Euroland. 10 years on, how many coins have crossed national boundaries? I've found some nice ones in unexpected places, but then I only visit tourist hot spots where folk are spending cash from previous holidays

Have, for example, German collectors carried out any surveys of what's currently in circulation?

Have never thought to even look David, besides, the girlfriends purse has most of my coins :lol: but now you've mentioned it, i shall keep a check and get back to you on the subject, maybe in a month and see what i've come up with.

Edit........I have a 50 cent from Slovenia, it says Slovensko so am assuming its Solvenia

Sounds like you were on the same itinery I was on a fortnight ago Scott.

Baltic cruise - Oslo,Copenhagen, Tallin, St Petersburg, Helsinki & Stockholm

Got a very nice Maltese €0.50 in Helsinki, probably from someone on the same cruise in the same tourist shop!

I'm interested to know what the mix is away from the holiday destinations.

Looking for commemarative €2 coins would be more fun than our hunt for £2s

Anyone else have a problem with this forum? It shows as "New Replies" every time, even when there aren't any. All other forums are fine.

Strange, It's just this one forum, no others.
