Collector coins are not made or meant for circulation, see <a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:169:0008:0010:EN:PDF" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:169:0008:0010:EN:PDF" rel="nofollow">http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:169:0008:0010:EN:PDF</a></p><p><br /></p><p><i>(Article 5) 1.

Since they are not used, who cares? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The eight &quot;regular&quot; denominations are what is legal tender in the entire euro area, and that includes the commemorative €2 coins. Another design that I really like is my avatar, the Italian €1 coin featuring Leonardo&#039;s Vitruvian Man. Not created specifically for the coin of course, but it looks good in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
