<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 829092, member: 39&quot;]In my opinion it does not pay off to keep circulated coins in the hope that their value will one day increase. Of course nobody knows whether the euro will still be around in 10 or 20 years, so yes, if it gets replaced by something else in the future, these pieces from the early 21st century may be worth a little more.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are too many ifs and maybes, I think. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> For example, when the current (2007-today) common sides were introduced, the old (1999-2006) ones were not taken out of circulation. Also, at least in the first years of the euro, many collectors were attracted by these new pieces, and prices of various older coins actually went down due to a lack of interest ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Collecting circulated coins, euro or other, can be a lot of fun - you get a wide variety of pieces and designs without spending much. But if you want to have and later possibly sell them, I would either get BU or even proof sets, provided that you do not have to pay much more than the original issue price for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
