If you need some finnish coin contact me.. some of the coins are very rare (like 50cent 2001, 10cent 2001) but I can try to look them from normal circulation.. 2€ 2003 is quite common..

There is only 1cent, 2cent, 1€ and 2€ coin 2003.. 1€ is quite rare so there is hard to see those coins in normal circulation..

And today I received one again! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I thought these would be extremely rare, but apparently not.

Today I read in my newspaper that the Dutch shops plan to round the prices to 5 ct like they do in Finland. If they are successful, the Netherlands would not need any 1 and 2 ct coins anymore. Maybe you 1 ct is the last edition :)

No it won't... it was a plan of the shop-owners, but the Dutch government already said those little coins will stay.

The National Bank of Belgium is going to produce 2 to 300 million 1 and 2 Eurocent coins in the next year.

Does anyone have information about the amounts of coins minted per each year?

Some coins, as Finnish 20 c coins from 2000, are very rare. It would be interesting to know if they haven't been minted very much or if they have kept them in a storage by now.
