<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 497219, member: 39&quot;]Guess there won&#039;t be any new euro countries for a while. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; In general I do not think there is a problem with using such coins that are not quite legal tender yet. After all, &quot;the locals&quot; get those starter kits/bags at face value, and the conversion rate is fixed. So if I pick some Slovakian euro coins up in Bratislava in December and spend them in Vienna (about 60 km away) the next day ... not a big deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the problem in Slovakia was that these starter kits were the only ones. Unlike other countries that founded or joined the euro area, they did not have bigger kits for stores. So whoever wanted to get the coins in advance - businesses, citizens planning to use it, and collectors - had to get one or more of those. Solution: More kits next time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
