€ 2 :flag-pt:
1, 2 and 5 cents :flag-ie:

and of course
1, 2 and 5 cents :flag-fi:

So these are my hardest to find ones, I probably should go on a holiday there sometime :)
with the helo of some EBT members here, I only need a Portugese 5c and 1c to finish my collection, apart from some 2€ CC. The Cypriot ones I bought, though.

Interestingly enough, I just got a Finnish 10c coin as a change in Berlin, after being here only for three weeks. I have not gotten any Greek, Irish, Portuguese or even Belgian coins, but I did get a Finnish one. Funny :) (though, it could be one of the 40€ of Finnish coins I used here right after my arrival, but of course that would be very unlikely).
I wasn't really expecting such find to happen - I thought I'd get my first Slovenian coin far more likely. But that I've still never seen..

Apparently so. I have gotten two more of those things already. And still no Belgian ones.

After 15 months since we have the euro here in Slovenia, I have already had coins from all of the euro countries (except the new ones, Malty and Cyprus...) Most of them were either German, Austrian or Italian. Very few Finnish, Irish and Portuguese, though... I've only seen 2 portuguese coins, a 1 euro coin and a 50c.
