    An Error Coin You May Not Know Exists- Episode 15

    Error coins can be traced back to the earliest productions of Ancient Coins, but may be found in the change you receive from your next purchase and that includes Euro coins.

    When the first French Copper Plated Steel 2 Euro Cents were minted in 1999 here is what they bore on their two sides (World Coin Gallery Photo):

    FRANCE COPPER PLATED STEEL 2 EURO COIN - (1999 TO DATE):

    Here's a 2000 2 Euro Cents whose obverse and reverse should match those in the previous coin photo, but somehow this error occurred and made it into circulation (Coin Archives photo):

    FRANCE 2000 COPPER PLATED STEEL 2 EURO CENTS - ERROR

    Hope you enjoyed learning about this error.

    To be continued...
