<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 946375, member: 39&quot;]Since most of them were never legal tender, you won&#039;t find many in coin catalogs. Two exceptions I know about are the Belgian ECU coins and the &quot;dual denomination&quot; French pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a book that focuses on the German issues. Those were not legal tender but local issues, accepted by some stores for a few days - but you could turn them in again, so they were a little different from mere medals. <a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/katalog-der-deutschen-euro-vorlaeufer/buchdetail/153/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/katalog-der-deutschen-euro-vorlaeufer/buchdetail/153/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gietl-verlag.de/katalog-der-deutschen-euro-vorlaeufer/buchdetail/153/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1990 Gerhard Schön (who also &quot;does&quot; euro and world coin catalogs) published one that apparently lists pieces from other countries too. A bit expensive though; have not seen that catalog myself. <a href="http://www.amazon.de/ECU-Katalog-Münzen-Medaillen-Gerhard-Schön/dp/3894411635/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.de/ECU-Katalog-Münzen-Medaillen-Gerhard-Schön/dp/3894411635/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/ECU-Katalog-Münzen-Medaillen-Gerhard-Schön/dp/3894411635/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
