Couple of weeks ago I found 50c 2008 San Marino coin. And today 50c 2011 from Vatican - first Vatican coin from circulation for me! :-) Both found in Kranj :flag-si: .

I've found :flag-fi: Finnish 1 cent coin (2005) some time ago from parking lot of a gas station. It's quite rare, at least because we don't use 1 and 2 cent coins in Finland. I have also :flag-ie: Irish 1 cent coin from the year 2007, and it's maybe quite rare too :D

(I guess this goes here.)

Recently I found a €2 San Marino coin. And to think I almost spent it without looking at it.

Bought in San Marino... I don't know if these coins are real of fake. Probably real :wink:

Of course these coins are real!
But the set isn't an official BU-set issued by the AASFN (Mint of San Marino). It's a self-made set consisting of (less rare) Sammarinese coins from different years.
However it's a very nice souvenir, Philgelico! :D

yes, MaxVR, and a souvenir of a wonderful "mini-meeting" day with a very nice friend "mico" , from Pesaro ! :)
And, well, San Marino could be a wonderful place for a EBT International Meeting in the future !!! Why not ??

I live in Ireland, and from what I've been told, Irish coins are quite rare outside of Ireland. We're always asked for a set when we visit relatives on the continent.

I have the complete sets of the 12 original countries, though I had to buy the Finnish 1c and 2c coins. I have never seen any Estonian or Latvian coins in circulation over here so far.

That's interesting. I thought there were quite a lot of Latvians and Estonians living in Ireland?

I have a few coins that I will bring to Ireland on my visit in early October. Who knows, they may end up in your wallet after a while.

Took 3 years for first :flag-ee: coin to reach my pocket, so I guess it will be same with :flag-lv: , or hopefully a bit less, as there are direct flights to Riga and a lot of Latvians in Ireland
