<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1039842, member: 39&quot;]You got that right ...&nbsp; Problem is, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican are not member states of the European Union but simply issue euro coins based on monetary agreements with the EU. Are their coins actually &quot;needed&quot;? No, but they had similar agreements with France and Italy respectively before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until last year, the Vatican did not even issue <i>any</i> circulation coins. Then the monetary agreement was modified (see my previous reply). But if you want to have anything except the 50 ct piece, you will have to buy a BU or proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>San Marino is easier; they actually issue coins for circulation. (Currently I am in Italy, and yesterday we went to SM.) Monaco on the other hand is difficult again. But of course, if you decide to collect euro coins, you could decide to leave the non-EU countries aside. That would take care of the three small countries. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
