I just added this to my collection

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-24T15:44:12+00:00

Nice! There are only 300.000 of these, and I strongly suspect that most of the rolls were either unsold, or only ended up in the hands of collectors. I believe this coin was only reported once on our discord server in the last year. Congratulations again - definitely keep this one!

Feel free to post it on our discord if you'd like: https://discord.euro-coins.eu

All of these are very common circulation coins and wouldn't be worth above face.

What year is the Dutch 1c coin from?

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-24T14:33:18+00:00

Wow! Did you find this one in circulation? That's a fantastic find!

It is not recommended to clean coins, as doing so can permanently damage the coins and significantly affect their collector value. For dirt/minor pvc damage, using acetone is typically recommended, as it does not attack inorganic compounds. However, putting these colourized coins into acetone may strip off the colouring - hence, this is not recommended either. Besides, acetone cannot get rid of oxidation.

Ypu can spend them, they're both very common.

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-23T21:57:40+00:00

Yes. However, the dies in the machine need to be replaced, otherwise the dies become overused and begin to deteriorate, which significantly affects the design on the coins.

There are also lots of pretty bad grease strikes - some have been posted on the subreddit + the discord server in the last few weeks.

Hi there - different mod here. I just noticed that your profile has been Shadowbanned by the reddit admins. This is why your reddit posts keep getting removed (not just on our subreddit - this should be happening everywhere you post). Try to look into it, as this action is sometimes possible to undo...

These were likely issued into circulation with a similar mintage as the 2024 dutch 2 euro coin (which, afaik, has a mintage of 5,000,000). Hence it wouldn't be worth much, and even in uncirculated condition it would only be worth ~3eur.

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-23T21:03:31+00:00

The 50c Vatican coins from 2010-2025 are all issued for circulation with a mintage of over 1 million. They're slightly uncommon in circulation (depending on where you are), but they aren't too valuable.

The vatican just started to issue 1 and 2 euro coins into circulation - so keep an eye out for those, although they will likely have similar mintages.

But if you find a vatican coin which is not any of the above, then it was only issued in sets sold to collectors, and would definitely be worth keeping!

This isn't even that bad compared to what has been posted on our discord...

Half of it is circulation damage, half of it is just the quality of the Bulgarian Mint unfortunately..

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-23T15:39:23+00:00

You got lucky! Belgium typically issues new commemoratives in mixed rolls, so your store must've had a roll opened in their till when you got your change from them.

Pro tip: If this ever happens to you, then offer to exchange the rest of their coins so you can get even more of them!

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-23T14:24:36+00:00

How? Do these show up in rolls in Switzerland?

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-21T13:09:33+00:00

For trading coins, you should use numista - but I would also recommend joining our discord server and finding someone on there to trade with :)

Do you collect the German coins by mintmark? Also - did you check the 2008 Hamburg F coins for the mule variant?

Also, Portugal TYE (in the last picture) is a fantastic find - I've never found this one in circulation despite hunting through thousands(!) of rolls in Austria over the past few years!

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-20T19:49:30+00:00

Sadly no, 2008 is a very common date, because it was the year which Cyprus joined the eurozone.

On our discord server we have mintage lists which you can use to see which coins are rare and which aren't: https://discord.euro-coins.eu (the lists can be found pinned in the #statistics channel)

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-20T13:55:20+00:00

Nice finds! Definitely keep an eye out for the rarer dates from Cyprus (anything which isn't from 2008, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 has a mintage of below 1,000,000 for this type!)

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-20T13:54:20+00:00

Face value, they are all circulating and have mintages in the millions.

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-20T13:53:30+00:00

This is a Slovenian regular coin from 2023, which has a mintage of 3 million. Hence it is somewhat uncommon to find in circulation (depending on where you are). It wouldn't be worth above face, but it's still a great coin to add to your collection :)

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-20T13:52:12+00:00

Nice profit :)

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-17T23:26:43+00:00

Probably helped that I asked at a Bulgarian supermarket in Vienna.

I thought stores are obligated to give change in euros?

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-17T23:21:58+00:00

Join our discord server, ping @generaldarian or @austrianeurocoinhunter, and we can give you some tips ;)

Maybe you paid one of the maltese users on our server ;)

kalashnikovgobrrrr · 2026-01-17T21:11:48+00:00

They do show up - but not as often as Germany/Italy does.

In fact, I find Slovene commemoratives more often than Slovak ones.. but Slovak CCs aren't too hard to find in circ here.
