<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3144465, member: 39&quot;]Well, the first year of the euro was 1999, which is also why some euro and cent coins (from France for example) start with that date. After 1-Jan-1999, a three-year transition period began; in those years we had the euro but the circulating cash was still francs, marks, etc. On 1-Jan-2002 the euro cash became legal tender.</p><p><br /></p><p>Germany picked that 2002 date for all its &quot;initial&quot; euro coins. That is why they are common as dirt indeed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
