<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 769775, member: 19456&quot;]I would be very surprised to ever recieve a Euro in change here. What with them not being the same size and shape of American coinage. In 2009 my mom recieved a quarter (equivalent) from Panama in change, and I found a Bahamas five cent issue in a roll I was given for my birthday, as well as the usual supply of 10 or more Canadian cents a year. I also found a Canadian 10 cent issue on the ground. It was quite a lucky find, as it was in a parking lot in Lake George NY, and must have been dropped earlier that day as it was not damaged from weather (it snowed the day before) and it was not run over. Even better, it was a date I didn&#039;t have for my collection (2005) and the only date in that time range I didn&#039;t have! It was lucky, I believe, for me that it did snow the day before, as landing in the snow is likely what prevented it from getting damaged on contact with the ground. I happened to spot it as I was walking as I saw it reflect the sunlight. If it had not recently snowed, I would have been looking ahead instead of down and missed it totally. I also nabbed a US cent the same day, close but not related to the dime. It had clearly been sitting out in the elements for some time but I brought it home anyway.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do have a little stash of the Euros but none of them were recieved in change, I have a friend in Ireland who absolutely HATES the Euro, and mails me a small selection of them from time to time. Most of them I was able to get from people who live in the Euro range and sent them to me. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was really surprised to find that I got a few Euros in my 3 pound sack of world coins I got for Christmas yesterday. Among them I got my first Italian Euro and my first three German Euros, as well as additions to my Spanish and Irish collection of Euros. I actually, thanks to my previously mentioned friend, have more Irish Euros then pre-Euro issues, that is the only country in that position in my collection. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I may not much like the concept of the Euro, but that doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;m not going to collect them! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
