How many Sanmarinese coins actually circulated ... don&#039;t know, as most of them were issued as parts of sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today the euro and cent circulation coins (and the €2 commems) from San Marino can be used anywhere in the euro area. The euro collector coins (usually silver/gold) and the scudi pieces, however, are legal tender in San Marino only.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, the IPZS in Rome mints all coins for Italy, San Marino and the Vatican. Interesting, by the way, that the very first Sanmarinese coin made according to the monetary convention of 1862 was minted in Milan - at that time, Rome was not part of the Kingdom of Italy yet. In 1939 that convention was &quot;interrupted&quot;, and for more than 30 years San Marino could not issue any lira coins. That right came back, so to say, in 1972 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
