found in circulation (over 90 different ones);

information regarding the scarcity of variants;
-
background information;

for easy distinguishing of the various variants;
-
checklist;
- 46
pages A4 in plastic cover and with firm ring binder;

Since
the introduction of the euro as legal tender in 12 European countries (and 3
small states which are connected to some of these countries by means of old
treaties) I have been collecting euro coins. I confine myself hereby to
collecting only those coins which are truly meant for circulation. For this I
use the definition that these coins must have been issued in starterkit,
mintroll or mintbag. Coins which are issued in other packings (sets) and coins
of special collecting qualities (BU and Proof) therefore do fall within the
scope of my collection. Also I never pay anything more for a euro coin then the
nominal value. I obtain scarce coins which belong to the scope of my collection
by swapping.
Because
I had a lot of spare time in the last two years I have gone further into the
matter of euro coins than most other collectors. I have specialised myself in
the topic of variants and other differences. Meanwhile I have
written a catalogue on the variants which I hope to revise and republish within
a couple of months.
Since
the beginning of 2002 I keep a scheme of the euro coins which are in
circulation, will be in circulation or are only available in sets. I also made
an overview of the printing-works where the euro banknotes for the various
countries are printed. Because I like to share this gathered information with
others I created this site. Although I do my utmost best to present al
information as correctly as possible I unfortunately cannot give any guarantee
on it.
Files
for downloading (for private use only!):
Overview of the euro
circulation coins including their variants (Excel)
Here
you can download a scheme (in MS Excel 5.0/95) of all euro coins (including the
variants known so far) which have been issued for nominal value. By filling in
the scheme with marks (x or X) you can keep a record of which coins you have.
This program also calculates the total number of coins in your collection and
the total nominal value of your collection. Please read the remarks at the
bottom before using this scheme. Last update on 11-01-05.
Overview
of the euro circulation coins (without variants!) (Excel)
The
same overview as above, but without the possibility to enter variants
separately.

Overview of the euro
circulation coins including their variants (PDF)
Once
again the first overview, but this time in a PDF-version and thus without
arithmetic functions. This version is specially ment for collectors who have
not the disposal of Excel. Last update on 11-01-05.
Overview of the euro banknotes (Excel)
Here
you can see (in MS Excel 5.0/95) which companies have made which banknotes for which
countries. The notes in between brackets have been mentioned but have not yet
been in my hands. The numbers in the two last columns are codes which can be
used for proving the authenticity of the notes. Last update on 15-02-05.
Overview of the euro banknotes (PDF)
The
same overview as above but this time in a PDF-version. Last update on 15-02-05.

I have removed some small errors from the Excel calculations. As far as I
can see all calculations are flawless now. In addition I have added some
calculations so that the total value of the special issues can also be seen now
(both for national and for European circulation). Furthermore the tables are
already adjusted to the year 2005. Unfortunately the latter has as consequence
that the main scheme cannot be printed on one sheet A4 anymore.

pretty large German coin forum. (My name: Senior)
A
smaller German coin forum. (My name: Senior)

An
international site designed to ease the swapping with other euro collectors
worldwide. A forum is also available. This is the most international site on
euro coins as far as I know. (My name: Senior)
http://www.eurobilltrackerforum.com/
An
international forum with as main subject (the tracking of) euro banknotes. (My

www.emuenzen.de
A German coin forum. (My
name: Nestor. Unfortunately did the owner of this forum not agree with the
information I present on this website and therefore terminated my membership on
25-11-04. Although I prefer to stay completely independent I
cannot tolerate such dictatorial behaviour (controlling other peoples
websites). Until this decision is reversed I therefore cannot recommend this
forum any longer.)
The
official site of the European Central
Bank. This site contains lots of info about the euro and gives a.o. links to
all national banks within the European Union.
I
wish you a lot of fun with your euro collection, and hope that the above
schemes and links are a help with your hobby.
