<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3341, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t think this is a question of cheating but, quite simply, of availability. You can relatively easily collect Irish euro coins from circulation (directly or by swapping). So collectors who just want to have one coin from each country, denomination, and maybe year/mint, do not have to buy BU sets in order to get the Irish coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of the Vatican (and also MC + SM) pieces getting such a complete set from circulation is much more difficult if not impossible. In other words, if you want to have all of Vatican&#039;s euro coins, you have to buy a set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another possible reason for the price difference is that some people do not collect &quot;by year&quot; but &quot;by design&quot;. The Irish coins will have the harp on the back for many years. Most coins from the monarchies, however, and also those from the Vatican, show the current head of state ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
