<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3504351, member: 39&quot;]Oh well, some people have been claiming that for 20 years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Sure, the EU in its current state would not be capable of creating a common currency, but the euro started in better times and is still around. As for the future, who knows - will I be around next week or in ten years?</p><p><br /></p><p>Those Austrian €25 pieces (NC, and &quot;LT&quot; only in the issuing member state) I stopped collecting when they went from two colors to that multicolored appearance. Same with most other pieces that are issued as collector coins; I do not find them that attractive. (Sure, I do get the German €20 silver pieces that are issued at face, or those Cu-Ni issues with the built-in polymer ring, and some others that I think are interesting.)</p><p><br /></p><p>With the circulation issues and the commemorative €2 coins that is a little different; those are coins that can actually be (and are) used in the entire currency union. Unfortunately some mints, even BE and FR, have begun selling them in coincards only, instead of also issuing them in rolls. Booh.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
