:lol: Or maybe I´ll pick up berries and sell them. Today I picked 4 l of wild cranberries. The price could be 3,88 Euro for 1 l of berries. And I´ll break the law by not accepting roundings to nearest 5 cents :wink: .
For Finns I'll take Sold out- sign with me. But :oops: <--this problem still exists.
Tourists are mostly friendly people :wink:
But, I understand how it feels :cry: maybe you can start a trade with support from friends :if you stand together, it might be easier :wink:

I give all the foreign coins to my little daugther as pocket-money. She gets one Euro per week.
But she gets the smaller denominations too.
She has a piggy bank full of non-Dutch coins 8)

There is a lot of euro coin diffusion overhere. Last weekend, I've received euro's from Germany, Luxembourg, Spain ans Holland, just on the market. I think 1/4 coins are non-Belgian ones at the moment, esp. 20c and 1E.

And I'm also helping ... I've used quit a lot Finnish and Irish coins, who were not nice to collect, for paying in shops. Sometimes people are looking strange when they see those unusual coins :lol: but they have always accepted them.

Not really, but once I asked to a Portoguese girl for some Portoguese coins (which she didn't have :( )

Too many coins?

Post by henkka »

I don't know anything about that some country has too much money... but maybe it's possible. :?

There is never enough money in my pockets, so i don't suffer this kind of problems because i had get used to it. :(

I collect coins from all over from World, and i have old (before euro) coins too much, i have hudreds of coins from Belgia, Germany, Greece, and many other countries in my doubles... anybody intersted? 8O

Also i have double euro coins from all countries except Greece and Ireland. I save all foreign (i live in Finland) coins what i get from circulation... i can swap all euro coins, except Ireland, Greece, and Finnish 1 and 2 cent coins. :?:

Here in Finland most of coins what i found from circulate is from Germany, Netherlands, and Spain.

Go and look my homepages, there is my contact information for coins swapping. 8)
