<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 76521, member: 39&quot;]Sounds good to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Of course it takes away some of the fun that people have when collecting coins from circulation - but picking circulated euros up may be difficult for people in other countries. And compared to paying face value plus postage for single coins, the price is OK ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note - this comment (from the dealer&#039;s site) is a little odd: <i>Note that all of these coins were released at the beginning of 2002, but a few have earlier dates since by law in some countries coins must be dated in the year they were struck, not in the year that they were released.</i></p><p>Well, production of euro coins started in May 1998, but you won&#039;t find any pieces dated 1998. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The euro legally replaced the pre-euro currencies on 1-Jan-1999 while the cash did not become legal tender until 1-Jan-2002, hence the different dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
