Hi folks!

I'm asking for your help if you are willing to make a trade or receive some goodies from Finland.

I'm collecting euro coins and my collection is missing some coins. If you have some of these coins, please contact me by private message. I can buy them or I can send you something from Finland that can be fitted to an envelope (salmiakki for example).

I'm missing these coins:

Luxembourg: 5 cent, 10 cent, 1 euro
The Netherlands: 1 cent, 50 cent
Austria: 1 cent
Malta: 1 cent, 5 cent, 20 cent, 2 euro
Cyprus: 2 cent, 10 cent, 50 cent, 1 euro
Slovenia: 1 cent, 2 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent
San Marino: all euro coins (very rare)
Monaco: all euro coins (very rare)
Vatican city: all euro coins (very rare)

Pictures of euro coins for each country can be found here:

SPECIAL REQUEST:
Each member state can issue a special €2 coin once a year. What makes them different from other €2 coins is their design on the national side. These coins are in normal circulation so you can find one from your wallet/pocket/wherever you keep you money.
I have some German 2 euro coins (Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Romische Vertrage), one from Greece (Athens Olympics 2004) and all the Finnish 2 euro coins.

Last year every member state issued a coin about the treaty of Rome. It looks something like this (this is the Finnish version):



The coin has the same picture but it has been printed with everyone's national language. I'm VERY interested in these coins from your home countries so keep your eyes open.

Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Austria have some other special coins in circulation. Pictures by year of issuance here:

I have the mighty pound... Interested? naah.

(They're also quite weighty, good for self-defence)

Lol, how can you not the French / Dutch 10 cent and be a 'collector'? o_O

Anyways I have some of the European commemorative coins, but I'll wait til the real Europeans answer to this thread because they've been close to a much larger circulation

I started to collect pounds and I just happen to miss those that you have in your wallet. You can put them to my bank account.

If I had extra money for travelling, I would have gone to get them, would I?

You just crashed my career as a pro collector.

You don't have to travel around to get them... There's a whole lot of those coins going around here in Finland alone. Or say at least in Helsinki.

It would probably be much easier if I lived in Helsinki. Where I live we see about 3 tourists a year. They all come here by accident and continue their journey before spending any money.
However, I have collected all the coins by checking my own, my boyfriends or my moms purse so it's true that some of the coins end up in this little town too.

I'm not keeping my hopes up for these coins. So far I have 0 answers.

BTW, does anyone else collect coins or am I the only geek here?

I could get you german coins in December, i heard there are special 2 Euro pieces dunno if that is right but i could keep my eyes open if you need them! =D

I would really appreciate it if you could only keep your eyes open for them. There were 30 millions coins put out in Germany this year representing Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.



Last year it was Schleswig-Holstein

You're not the only geek! I collect coins, too! Wish I could help!

(Us geeks need to stick together, ya know...)

I'm Italian and I've got a lot of 1 and 2 euro cents! I never use them to pay and I alawys receive them as change

I dont have many more coins than canadian.. sorry

It's quite a collection as I remember. I keep the one you gave me in my wallet.

Got that one in Poland yesterday, as change when fueling my car.

Acid trips don't count. Poland isn't part of the EMU. :teach: I do believe you did get it, tho. They prolly accept euros in certain places or somethin'. I just wanted to say that.

Ohh I needed that Am, finally someone has trust in me and my Acid...

Have you found all the coins you've been looking for? What about Malta and Cyprus?

Nope. Haven't been lucky so far. I don't have coins from Malta or Cyprus either.

But I did get the Italian coins though, big thanks to Vaughn.

I can send u all the dutch ones and the ones from Luxembourg

and now you read the first post of the thread, like you should have



Good luck with the coins, Angie. Hope you'll find some on your pilgrim trip.

I will keep my eyes open for human sacri....ooops... I mean euro coins. I will keep my eyes open for those very special euro coins.

Like this?

fine, sometimes I'm tired and read names wrong

I meant that she can have all the ones from The Netherlands and Luxembourg that she NEEDS!

That's a bad habit Baldrion.

I have a friend in the Netherlands who would trade you all the NL coindsyou want for a Finnish 1 and 2 cent coin

I have none of those you need though. Sorry.

I think that is the great thing of Finland they do not use the 1 or 2 cent coins

Hey, I just got one of the Germany special coins - it is from 2008 and has Hamburg on it. I can save that for you if you like.

where this 1 cent is from? it's 2005 and some kind of theatrical mask i think?
