[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1134126, member: 6229"]A historic event took place on January 1 this year (2011) to the Estonia Coinage. Estonia, as you know, was a member of the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) Since the break-up on December 21, 1991, eleven of the former socialist republics declared an Alma-Alta (with the 12th republic - Georgia (attending as an observer) - that with the formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ceases to exist. Estonia, being one of those former members, had to create their own mint to produce circulating coinage. During 2010 Estonia qualified for entry into the European Currency Exchange Union. As a result of their acceptance, on January 1, 2011, Estonia became the first former USSR member nation to officially utilize the Euro and issue Euro coins. All eight standard Euro coins feature a map of Estonia on one side, and the standard Euro designs featuring maps of Europe on the other. The 8 coin set, dated 2011, includes the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 Euro cent and the bi-metallic 1 and 2 Euro coins.
