On new year's day 2002, Greece, like the other 11 members of the
Eurozone, started using Euro notes and Euro coins for cash transactions. Within
a few months, the old coins and banknotes in Drachmas have been withdrawn. We
have uncirculated sets from each of the twelve countries in stock now for
immediate delivery.
The Minister for the National Economy and the Governor of the Bank of Greece
chose the designs for their euro coins from a set of proposals presented by a
national technical and artistic committee. The designer of the winning motifs
was sculptor Georges Stamatopoulos, sponsored by the Bank of Greece. There is a
separate design for each denomination
