The Eurozone Started
Using The Euro on January 1st 2002:
On new year's day 2002, all 12 members of the Eurozone started using Euro notes
and Euro coins for cash transactions. None of the old, legacy coins or notes are
now still in circulation. We have uncirculated sets of Euro coins from each of
the twelve member countries available in stock now for immediate delivery. Our
photographs illustrate the two Euro coins from each country in addition to the
common EU reverse side.
Countries & Designs:
Each country is free to use their own designs on the obverse of each coin,
providing it meets certain criteria. Different countries have obviously taken
different views about this. Most countries have produced three different
designs, one each for the bi-colored, silver colored, and copper colored coins.
Some countries have produced better or more imaginative designs than others.
Austria Greece and Italy have done a great job, and produced eight different
designs, one for each coin value. Finland, France, Germany, Portugal and Spain
have each used three different designs; of these we like the French best, and
Finland have produced different designs for the two higher valued coins, but the
six remaining coins all share the same design. Luxembourg also produced three
different designs, but these are all similar except for the placement of the
word "Lëtzebuerg". The Netherlands has only used two designs, while
Belgium and Ireland rather disappointingly have used just one design for all
eight coins. Whether this is to avoid confusing the natives, we do not know! |
