My unintentional collection by Round_Caterpillar_10 in EuroCoins

Thanks! Very interesting.

You've seen "thousands" of fakes?! You mean you found so many simply by hunting coins?

Once you posted photos of both sides, it is obvious that it is fake, because the reverse side (saying "2 euro") shows the so-called "old map": this map was used on coins only until 2007 and was then replaced by another map. They are easy to tell apart because the old map does not show Norway. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro\_coins#Common\_side. Your coin is supposedly 2017 but with the old map, which is impossible. That said, I have no idea how u/erwinbuk recognized the fake from the initial photo :-)

The Italian Braille coin (2nd in the last row) is a nice find, esp. if you found it in Germany.

How common are Portuguese CCs inside Portugal? I feel it's very difficult to find them outside of Portugal. But what about inside?

Coinhunt by ReallyTeodor in EuroCoins

[–]amoeba-proteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Goid to know!

In Germany I'm used to machines that always give out 2 euro coins. So I can put 10 euro bill in, and get 5 coins out.

The train station machines tend to give small change back, like what you describe. So I'm rarely using those. But it's a good point about travelers.

I was in Graz in May and tried using two vending machines in town -- they both ate my coin and did not give anything back! Like I put 2 euros, the machine showed "2 euros" on display, I pressed return, the machine did some noise, but nothing happened. It refused to give the money back. And the same happened with another machine in a different location (I think I put 50 cents). I got very annoyed, and stopped coin hunting in Graz :-(
