<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1338815, member: 39&quot;]Today I got a roll of these (see image below) at the bank. While the euro was &quot;born&quot; in January 1999, the coins did not become legal tender until January 2002. So this piece commemorates ten years of euro cash. OK, that is not my photo, and the pieces that I picked up are from Karlsruhe (&quot;G&quot; mintmark), not &quot;A&quot; ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The design, by Helmut Andexlinger from Austria, was the winner in a public (web) vote last year. All 17 euro area member states have issued or will issue this - same design except for the country name. And again it will be fairly easy, I think, to get the Dutch, German or French piece. But the coins from Cyprus, Luxembourg or Malta for example will be hard for me to get at face.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian</p><p><img src="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/coins/2012/ten_years_400_de_en.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
