Maybe this have something to do with sweat.

When you are in warm country, you have more sweat on your skin than example Finns right now.

And also.. When you don't use a wallet but carry your money in the bottom of your pockets, the money may get a new colour easier.

I guess portuguese coins are rare in Finland, so the good ones are soon collected, so it's easier to find only the dirty ones.. Then there's also the travel, few should go directly from Portugal to Finland.. so they travel a lot before getting there.

I live in Portugal and my only finnish coin is also dirty and old..

The portugese coins I got in circulation so far are ok and in medium condition BUT:

Though watching Euro-coins since Jan02 and many coins going through my hands per year, I found the very first portugese pieces in circulation in 2005 - 1c + 10c (both 2002-dated).
These are my ONLY portugese coins yet, even pieces from Luxemburg I have more often

Does anybody has an explanation for this or is it just "bad luck"?

I think the reason is the distance which is much bigger for portugal, and that many people coming close to luxemburg will fill their cars tank with some fuel there...
