<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1920955, member: 39&quot;]Keep in mind that all messages that got posted to this topic before yours are about four years old. And telling the full story about euro circulation coins here would be tough. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The non-EU euro countries (and some other tidbits) I mentioned in this summary: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-euro.17115/#post-1878248" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-euro.17115/#post-1878248">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-euro.17115/#post-1878248</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, of course these three (soon four) issue circulation coins. The monetary agreements they have with the European Union mandate that 51, 70 or 80 percent of the annual volume - depends on the country - are issued at face. But the affected countries will only issue one denomination or two this way - the others you will indeed have to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the commemorative €2 coins, as far as I can tell, mintages have gone or are going down, especially now that each member state can issue two per year. The two Greek coins that are issued this year, for example, have mintages of roughly 700,000 each. Not &quot;rare&quot; but that defeats the purpose of circulating commems in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
