<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman, post: 227, member: 17&quot;]With so many people interested in anything that has to do with euro coins, many take advantage of the collectors. Ie US Mint, taking a few euros combining them with SQ&#039;s and there you go!! A new &quot;collectible&quot; folder, wich costs a modest multiple of the coins value and packing etc expences!!! Same goes with the Dutch Mint which issued folders with euro coin sets not only for Holland but also for Greece, Ireland, Denmark (with Dutch coins!!!) having more than 10 different folders to show!! All costed 4-5x their face value and many sell now for 4-10x their issue price!!!! Should I mention privately issued UK euro coin &quot;patterns&quot; which are not coins, not medals, not even tokens if you see at them literally, they are simply a fraudelant product, carefully marketed to attract the average newbie in coin collecting and convince him he has a rarity in his hands... cost perhaps less than 10$ per set to manufacture, those were sold at 55 pounds and now sell for 45-150 Euro depending on how &quot;good&quot; the &quot;dealer&quot; who got them is!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
