Pretty comprehensive list. However, since it is about two years old, the information about future entrants is a little outdated: Slovenia joined half a year ago, Cyprus and Malta will join in six months, Slovakia plans to join in Jan-2009. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania participate in the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM-II) but can/will not join until 2010 or so. The other member states that are theoretically obliged to introduce the euro - Bulgaria, Czech Rep., Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden - are not in ERM-II and may join much later or never. Denmark and the UK stay out anyway. The "historical" info on that page is by and large accurate though. Oh, and I love this part: "These three islands are uninhabited but are part of Spain and if they used a currency it would be the euro." Christian
Thanks for this. I've got my Slovenian contact on the lookout for me. Of course, he gets the first one, but he does plan to at least look out for me. Now that I've got the hard one out of the way, it's time to track down all the other Euro commemorative coins. (Just starting my Euro collection, so I figured I'd start with the Slovenian ones).
@Topher : Good luck with your euros. Better if you had began with them a few years ago . If you are only looking for conmemoratives, apart from Vatican, San Marino and Monaco, I suppose you will only find trouble with Finland 2004, as expensive as Slovenian one.
