Eugh....euros. Is it even in a case or or they just change finds? I must admit however that I do like the €2 reverse.

I recieved an e-mail through one of my other forums. They are a pile of rubbish.

i think it was the San Marino ones that i liked, i might be wrong, but it was one of those rare sets.

They're my favourite too! I found a picture and attached it here. It's a bit fuzzy and the words don't help but you can make out the designs

[Sylvester 15]

yep those are the ones, difficult to get hold of, just like the Vatican sets.

I can't believe i'm talking euros here...

How much do they go for and if possible, could you tell me their mintage?

[Emperor Oli 0]

Lol yes, it's amazing how something so.......acceptable could come out of something like the EU

This page sells some San Marino ones but no mintage figures......

I think those San Marino euros have just become my favourite set of Euros too! I especially like the €2, 10 cent and five cent ones.

Wow, they were adventurous with the Vatican sets.....

What have they done?! They look horrible!!

[Sylvester 15]

don't look at the Irish ones or the Netherlands, infact just don't look at any modern Netherlands coin, ever.

God shall smite thee. I was on about the monotony of them.....

Sorry Sylvester, I have already seen the Netherlands ones, and the Irish ones, 'twas not a pretty sight!

Don't go harping on about the Irish coins

I like modern Netherlands coins... I only noticed recently that they have a 90 degree rotation between the sides... either that or Queen Beatrix is lying down for her portrait. Innovative I say!

Anyway, better than the Belgian pre-Euro coins and that modern portrait on Swedish Krona... it looks like the King's head is exploding!
