<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 471183, member: 39&quot;]Technically correct, but in a currency union that, when it comes to &quot;real&quot; money, uses the same cash, that is almost pointless. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> At least here in Euroland, such collector coins are not intended for circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would have been possible to make all those euro collector coins legal tender in all of Euroland. Most probably they would still not really circulate then, sure. But the way the collector coins are issued, they are just regional money. Spending a silver coin is, by itself, not actually &quot;dumb&quot; - but a Dutch €5 piece for example is worthless a few kilometers away, in some Belgian or German city which is part of the very same currency union and uses the very same circulation coins and notes. Makes a lot of sense. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So those roundlings you may well consider to be &quot;non-coins&quot;, Ruben. But why the British or Swiss pieces?</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
