Euro Coins

+ +

+ +

+ +

+ + +

+ All German coins bear one of five different mintmarks that represent + the city in which they were minted. These are: Berlin (A), Munich + (D), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G), and Hamburg (J). +

+
+ + +

+ There is an error that exists for €2 coins minted in 1999 where the + holes in one, two, or even three of the 9’s are filled. The number of + 9’s filled is displayed with a fraction (e.g. 2/3 for two 9’s filled). +

+
+ + +

+ As a result of a late joining to the Eurozone, Greece was assisted by + the countries of France, Spain, and Finland to mint coins for 2002. + For this reason all 2002 coins have two varieties — one with a + mintmark in the star (‘F’, ‘E’, and ‘S’) and one without. +

+
+ + +

+ For the years 2020–2021 Luxembourg released certain commemorative + coins in both a “classic” and “photo” variety. Any years labeled with + ‘P’ are of the “photo” variety while years without a label are of the + standard “classic” variety. +

+
+ + +

+ Many Maltese commemoratives have different mintmarks depending on in + they were intended for circulation, coincards, or sets. Any years + listed on this page suffixed with “MdP” bear the mintmark of the + Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint), while years suffixed with “KNM” bear + the mintmark of the Koninklĳke Nederlandse Munt (Royal Dutch Mint). +

Euro-Coins and -Banknotes

My Primary Collection

+ +

+ This is my euro collection. It’s the largest collection I’ve ever + amassed. It’s also my primary collection as I reside in the Eurozone. + I do own uncirculated-coins and -banknotes, but all coins and + banknotes listed on this section of the site are circulated. +

+ There are various examples of euro coins that have slight varieties + between their standard circulation releases and their coincard/set + releases, such as different mintmarks for example. In these cases, + the NIFC variety will not be listed on this site + unless I happen to get one for my collection (see Malta for an example). The same applies to error coins. +

€ Banknotes

+ +

+ +

+ In the serial numbers of the banknotes found in the “Ages and Styles + of Europe” series, also known as the “2002” series, the first letter + represents the country that the banknote was issued by. In the second + series (the “Europa” series) the first letter no longer represents the + issuing country but instead the location at which the banknote was + printed. + +

+ No €5 banknotes were printed for the “Ages and Styles of Europe” + series which bear the signature of Mario Draghi. + + +

+ The €500 banknote was discontinued and withdrawn from circulation with + the release of the “Europa” series. + +

Euro Test-Banknotes

+ +

+ +

+ The following “test banknotes” were banknotes from the “Europa” series + printed to test their usage in ATMs and such. The ‘*’ character in + the below serial numbers represents an arbitrary number/letter. +

+ A few additional notes: the €5 test-note bears the signature of + Jean-Claude Trichet, and the €20 test-note beginning with ‘S’ was + printed on the plate “S004”. If a note matches the serial-number + pattern but does fails these requirements, it’s not a test-note. +

Thomas’ Euro Collection

…and some world stuff too!

+ +

+ This website houses the entirety of my circulated euro-coin and + -banknote collection. It also has some non-euro currencies too! + Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all coins and banknotes listed on + this site should be circulated. In other words, they shouldn’t’ve + just come from a coin set I purchased from a coin mint. I think it’s + just a lot cooler knowing that a piece of money was previously used in + a real-world transaction. +

+ +

Euro-Coins and -Banknotes

+ The main focus of my currency collecting with a single currency that + spans 26 countries and almost 350 million people. Standard issues, + commemorative issues, and banknotes from all series are all + included. +

+ +

World-Coins and -Banknotes

+ Money from around the world! This collection gets progressively + larger over time, but is not my primary focus. There are a few + countries in which I take a special interest though. +

+ This section is currently unavailable. +
