<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2724841, member: 39&quot;]Weeelll (tongue in cheek), most American collectors are interested in US coins only, so that lack of interest in the US does not come as a surprise. Also, while our €20 collector coins, also issued at face, are silver (Ag 925), these coins with the polymer ring are basically Cu-Ni. And yet people do not line up for the silver pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>But this translucent polymer ring is still a new thing, and people who have the time to wait in line can get a €5 coin at 5 euro. So I suppose it is a mix of a novelty effect and an idea like &quot;since I got last year&#039;s piece, I now want them all&quot;. As you will know, the minds of many collectors work that way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, here is a topic about the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-german-€5-planet-earth-coin.277436/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-german-€5-planet-earth-coin.277436/">first coin</a> in that series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
