2013 Austria 2 Euro Cent

Austrian euros follow the same trend as other European euros, which is little to no extra value.

Austria has typical European issues like extremism versus radical groups causing instability. That said they are not seriously thinking of dropping the euro so this currency will be around for a while keeping collectors value low.

Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cents/Austria
Year: 2013
Mintage: 121,500,000
Metal: Copper Plated Steel

2014 Spain 5 Euro Cent

Spanish euro cents are common and there are plenty of tourism between are countries so they are easy to find.

Newer coin but kind of dull since it is copper plated and if used a lot it begins to lose the luster.

2010-J Germany Euro Cent

So many German Euro finds I have started tracking them using Google Sheets. They are all still common and have little value still here is my latest.

German euro cents are common from each of the five mints about 100 million were made. Hans Tietmeyer was former head of the Bundesbank and helped Germany convert to Euros, he recently passed away. Granted now some in Germany think if they leave the euro system they can turn the economy around.

2010 France 5 Euro Cent

Decent Euro find from France. Euro coins are still worth a little more than U.S. coins so i have notice some travels take back their euros if they accidentally give it as change in the U.S.

Still common and metal value is low this coin probably will never reach collectors rarity but at least I found one.

Here's the stats...

2005 Spain 1 Euro Cent

A year since my last Spanish coin find and of course this one is common. People still think of Euro coins as on kind but they are issued from many countries and sometimes have different collector values.

Unfortunately this one is so common that it has only face value. The front has the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and the Spanish word for Spain which is España.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Euro Cent / Spain
Year: 2005
Mintage: 444,200,000

2002 Italy 10 Euro Cent

There are three varieties of this coin with different sizes for the designers initials on the front. I only own one and cannot find information on the other two so I cannot say what the true difference looks like.

As far as I know the varieties all have the same value. I guess with over a billion made they are common. The first of Italian euro coins it was made in huge amounts. I am guessing the dies were repunched several times resulting in varieties.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Euro Cent / Italy
Year: 2002
Mintage: 1,142,383,000

2013 France 2 Euro Cent

The newer French euros have the pentagon mint mark and less accurate mintage reports. I assume they as common as the rest and have no extra value.

Nice coin got it as a cent a while back. I seem to be falling behind on posting but I think that may change. Pun intended.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cent / France

2005 Netherlands 5 Euro Cents

This is a common Netherlands euro coin. In 2010 they reduced the production but even those have little extra value in high grade. 

Nothing new to report about The Netherlands or their currency. Again euros tend to be boring, I feared that would be the case as most euro commemorative coins are of higher denominations. I may never find a special euro coin but there is always a slim chance.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / Netherlands

2004-J Germany 2 Euro Cent

German coins have always been in the top five foreign coins I have found in my change. I guess it is the tourist and similar coin size and weight.

 
Despite the small face value they are still commonly used and circulate well.Not that I do not appreciate these coins but finding euros is getting a bit boring. Very few have any sort variety or error so they are basically all just face value.

Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cents / German

2002 Portugal 5 Euro Cent

This is the most common of the Portuguese 5 Euro Cents and it taste like all the others, although I do not recommend licking coins as a means of identification. 

This one has the same design as the last Portuguese euro coin I found and I think all of the copper-plated steel Portuguese euro coins have this design.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / Portugal

2002-J Germany 10 Euro Cent

The second most common of all German 10 euro cents only the 2002-F is more common. Since 2004 these coins are only available in collector sets but I will still hope to find one in my change.

Got this as a penny which is a great deal even for a common coin. Still have not found any rare or special coins but Euros are still nice to get.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Euro Cent / Germany

2009 France 5 Euro Cent

Seventh French coin I found this year all of which were euros. They seemed pretty thorough about purging older coins.

Fairly common and worth only slightly more than face value, at least over here, it is kind of boring. As far as I know the French euros have not changed designs or anything cool for the smaller denominations. It is now 15 years of euros with little excitement among most of them.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / France
Year: 2009

2002 Belgium 50 Euro Cent

The second most common half a euro, if that is what they call them.

Kind of short on time so just a quick note about this coin. It is brass, common, and has more exchange value than anything else. Love the crowned A though.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cent / Belgium
Year: 2002

2010-D German 20 Euro Cent

One ding we are German...
Still finding German coins at the rate of about once a month. All have been Euros and all common.

This one is a 20 euro cent that is relatively common.I got it in a take a penny leave a penny tray along with a Belgium coin. Great shape but that nordic gold, like our U.S. dollar coins, is prone to fingerprint damage. Our natural oils permanently damages the new coins surface.

Here's the stats...

Year: 2010-D
Mintage: 25,620,000
Metal: Brass / Nordic Gold: Copper 89%, Aluminum 5%, Zinc 5%, and Tin 1%

2006 Netherlands 5 Euro Cents

The Netherlands is facing the bird flu, insensitive Christmas costumes, and worse of all a love of soccer. That may be why some have come to visit our land and drop some euros as pennies. 

I think they have updated the picture on the front to the current monarch but I have yet to receive one. These older ones have not gone up in value and probably will not for the next couple of decades.

Here's the stats...

2007-G Germany Euro Cent

Tiny little cent to add to my German collection. This is the least common of the 2007 German euro cents, I mean it is still common at over 83 million.

German coins are holding steady as my third most common foreign coin find. All have been euro coins so I think they successfully purged all older coins from their change. Unlike the U.S. which can still legally use money from the 1860s most other countries must stop using old circulating money.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Euro Cent / Germany
Year: 2007-G
Mintage: 83,670,000

1999 France 1 Euro Cent

The most common of all French one euro cent coins. It has the bee mark above the last digit in the date.

The 2002 and 2003 French euro cent coins are scarce and worth more than all others. Of course they are harder to find but I will keep looking.

2012 France 2 Euro Cent

New, common, and still finding them in my change as a cent. Exchange rate is still relatively high at 1 euro to 1.27 U.S. dollars.

The mint and privy marks are bold on the coin. I can only assume they repunched them while keeping the old fading dies. The rest of the design looks flat, it was hard to get a good image.

Here are the stats...

2002-A Germany 10 Euro Cent

Still finding a steady stream of German euro coins. Although I have seen more Brazilian tourists than German ones the Germans are more likely to use their coins for change.

Watching how tourist use money is very odd. A lot of them keep travel wallets strapped inside their underwear. In summer and winter that means soggy sweaty notes. Brazilians and Europeans do this the most. Asian and Arabic tourist use normal wallets but tend to throw money around like it was worthless.

One thing most tourist have in common is a dislike for coins. I have seen them refuse change even in large amounts. The American nickel and dime seems to confuse them the most. Since nickels are larger than dimes they often think they are worth more. Accidentally or purposefully using their native coins happens more often among Canadians and Europeans, seldom it happens with Arabic countries.
