<p>[QUOTE="Lawtoad, post: 1261554, member: 31685"]Got this back in change yesterday at Walgreens. It is a 2004 2 Cent Euro coin from France (how it made its way to Oregon is a good story I'm sure). I did not notice it at first glance as it is the same size and color of the US cent, but always check my change when I get home and voila (had to throw a French word in) there it was. I'm used to getting Canadian coins and Mexican coins in change, but this is the first European coin in an extremely long time. My question is why did the EU decide to mint the coins with a continuous groove on the edge? That is actually what caught my eye initially. Certainly a pleasant surprise from the occasional wheat cent I get.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gene[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
