<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 28421, member: 39&quot;]May take a while until any of these countries issues &quot;dollar&quot; coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>As for mints &quot;helping out&quot;, well, some euro countries just do not have any mints - Luxembourg, for example, has its coins made in Utrecht (NL), and some of the Lux. euro commems were made in Stuttgart (DE) and Warsaw (PL). Monaco&#039;s coins are made in Pessac (FR), the ones from San Marino and the Vatican are made in Rome (IT).</p><p><br /></p><p>Greece was a special case: While all other countries started the coin production earlier (mid-1998 in France and Germany for example!) and introduced the euro on 1-Jan-1999, Greece was not part of the currency union until 1-Jan-2001. So they had to somehow make up for that &quot;delay&quot; in order to have their euro cash ready for €-Day on 1-Jan-2002 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
