Is anyone out there aware of particular circulating euro coins that are rarer or in higher demand than others? Are there any errors that are known? I figured since I use them daily, I should know what to be looking for. Thank you for your input!
The most likely candidates are Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City. Countries with smaller populations like Luxembourg and Ireland issue fewer coins than Germany, France, Italy and Spain do, in most cases. I found Greek, Slovakian and Slovenian euro coinage sets to be expensive. Maltese and Cypriot sets, on occasion, are also a bit pricey. Monaco is subject to extreme speculation. What is less known by some collectors is that many euro coins are issued in circulation quantities only sporadically or as commerce needs them. Nonetheless, every year, faithfully, all the nations that have the euro as their monetary unit issue collector sets. Germany, having five mints, issues five separate sets. In addition, their are TONS of euro-denominated commemoratives, the great majority in precious metal. Two-euro coins are the preferred denomination for circulating commemoratives.
I appreciate the feedback. I have a bunch of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 Euro cents and I'm trying to decide if I just want to take them to the bank or if it's worth sorting them through to find a few harder to get ones.
Yes. But I live in Germany (presently) so my bank will take them and give me euro bills. I'm trying to decide if sorting them is worth the effort or if I should just send them in.
Looks like I'll be breaking into the 2 euro cent bags to look for the Italy 1 cent error. https://coincollectionmarket.com/en...ecial-mints-variants-and-errors-of-euro-coins
