<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 26787751, member: 130786&quot;]-The reason I actively sought/bought UNC <a href="https://en.numista.com/201655" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/201655" rel="nofollow">2002 5 Euro with the Duisenberg signature</a> was my trip to Ireland in 2004. I looked feverishly for the 1st signature &amp; found one or 2 torn/soiled rags (which I spent). There were lots of &quot;Trichet&quot; but no &quot;Duisenberg&#039;s&quot; (&amp; I now wish I kept some of those Trichet varieties!) I found that astonishing (that the 1st signature could just disappear in 2 short years!) I would be very surprised if you found a few Mario Draghi notes (3rd 2002 signature, but you never know- especially the higher denominations). Higher denoms tend to stay in circulation longer so you may <i>luck out</i> with the odd 20 or 50 Euros (if you don&#039;t mind keeping so much for your colllection). At the time of my trip I could not spare either a 20 or 50 Euro. I found things expensive back then!</p><p><br /></p><p>From what my Irish buddy tells me, &quot;cash is getting harder to use,&quot; there, so I wish you the best of luck on your travels (snagging something worthwhile)![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
