<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 265844, member: 5580&quot;]Euro coin pattern sets have nothing to do with &#039;real&#039; euro coins. These are sets with fantasy coins, made by private issuers to get some money from inexperienced collectors. These pattern sets exist for many countries which are not yet in the euro-zone, like Poland, UK, Denmark, Gibraltar, Isle of Man and others. They also exist for the Vatican or for countries soon entering the eurozone, like Malta and Cyprus.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, as I already stated, these pattern euros are NO COINS, nor have ANY LEGAL STATUS. They don&#039;t even reflect what the euros of those countries could be like, because the official issuing authorities have nothing to do with those issues. In fact these sets only contain sort of private-issued medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to collect real euros, it is best to stick to the official sets of the 16 countries which are at the moment in the euro-zone: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and the small countries San Marino, Monaco and the Vatican.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
