<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2178273, member: 39&quot;]In some cases that is absolutely right, yes. Eight years ago, for example, the common side of the 10 cent to 2 euro coins got an updated design - but the French 50 ct and €1 pieces have never been minted for circulation with those designs, only for sets. Same thing with German 10 ct, 50 ct, €1 coins. Other denominations, and coins from other euro countries, were minted at least to some extent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it does not make much sense to produce new coins if there is no need for them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But people who collect &quot;by year&quot; cannot do that using circulation coins only, and even those who collect by type or design (such as myself) will have to get a set at least from time to time if they want all designs of all denominations ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of quantity, probably so. The difference is that our &quot;halfs&quot; (50 cent) and &quot;dollars&quot; (€1, €2) are normal denominations that people use in everyday life. With these rounding regulations, only the 1 and 2 cent coins have or will become &quot;exotic&quot; in some countries. But of course the mints will gladly continue to make them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
