<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3330884, member: 39&quot;]Could be tough ... Most mints and central banks in the euro area do not sell coin rolls to individual customers. Others do but may want a surcharge - and if I went to a commercial bank here in Germany, I would usually have to pay per roll: One roll of 1 cent coins contains 50 pieces, but the bank may charge €1 or so. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Finland is one of the euro countries where cash totals get rounded to x.y0 or x.y5, so the two lowest denominations (1 and 2 ct) are not really common. And Monaco does not issue many coins anyway; here are the mintage figures (private website) for the two countries:</p><p><a href="https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=fi" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=fi" rel="nofollow">https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=fi</a></p><p><a href="https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=mc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=mc" rel="nofollow">https://www.2euro-overview.eu/auflagen.php?land=mc</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If a business in Germany orders coin rolls from the central bank (Deutsche Bundesbank), it has to order quite a few: Such rolls come in packs (one pack contains ten rolls), and the container that can be ordered contains 500 roll packs. So if you want all eight denominations, you get coins worth more than €300,000 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why cash services usually serve as &quot;links&quot; between the Bundesbank and commercial banks/businesses. And they want to get paid for their services of course. Bottom line, your plan may turn out to be difficult. May still be possible (last time I wanted to get a roll from a Bundesbank branch office, I told them it was for some preschool project, and they were nice and gave me one), but is not as easy as it used to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
