<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 107100, member: 669&quot;]You must also decide on <i>which</i> Euro coins you want to collect.&nbsp; There are three categories: <ul> <li>General circulation issues, each having the &quot;common side&quot; and a country-specific side, in denominations of 1¢, 2¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢ and €1</li> <li>€2 Legal tender commemoratives, with the common side and the country specific side with a special design</li> <li>NCLT coins which must be in a denomination different from the regular series, and have distinctive designs on both sides, different from the common side design, and the normal country specific side.</li> </ul><p>Although the rules for NCLT simply call for a different denomination, so far as I am aware all of them issued to date have been denominated €5 or more, and there have been no 3¢, €2.50, or other oddball denominations <u>yet</u>.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you limit yourself to the first category, from all countries, you have at least 105 coins per year to acquire, including the hard-to-find Vatican issues.&nbsp; Including mintmarks in the quest adds quite a few more, as would the €2 pieces which are not issued every year by every country.</p><p><br /></p><p>NCLT collection could get very expensive, even though not every country issues them ever year.&nbsp; Sometimes a country issues more than one in the same year, and they are generally issued at a premium over face value, which has reached at least €200 ($245.30)![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
