Probably... I will be able to get the coins from Malta in january and I would like to swap it (for cyprus coins obviously )

I think it is grate that other countries are able to adot the euro if they want!

[ART]

Between the two series I prefer maltese (I like the heraldic symbols).

I remember the 2 official links to the coins :
MALTA http://www.ecb.int/bc/euro/coins/html/mt.en.html
CYPRUS http://www.ecb.int/bc/euro/coins/html/cy.en.html

P.S. I have already ordered my coins sets and i have the eurobox + Slovenia !!

OH!! sorry I didn't understand the real mining of the question!!

I prefer Cyprus coins rather than Maltese ones. Just because I love boats and animals!! (that's why I also love the 2 and 1 Euro coins from Finland and the small ones from Greece!)

The "yellow" Malta coins are also nice of course as I like that kind of coat-of-arms-coin

I don't think I will find them in circulation easily , maybe Cyprus a bit more propable and I will keep as I did 4 the 2 cent that a supermarket in front of my house gave me in agoust.
I don't like that much those heraldics symbols and I hate the 2-1 € of Cyprus , they look like an " ugly doll ".
Both decided 4 a (3 - 3 - 2) and usully I prefer the 8 all different but the others of both are really nice .I also think that it is grate that other countries are able to adot the euro if they want and they reach the "criteria of convergence" to join €

ciao thanks to Jes and ART 4 the comments
i have no friends there to talk about EBT

From the enlargement of 04 these new countrys entered : Estonia,Latvia,Lihtuania,Poland,Czech Republic,Slovakia,Hungary,Romania, ,Malta and Cyprus and no new entry was in sight ; I remember they were 10 ( there is also a 2 € commemorative 4 that http://www.ecb.int/bc/euro/coins/comm/h ... 04.it.html )but now i count them and i find they are 11 so there is something wrong - i have always been bad in mats - I'll correct the topic title and the text after calling on monday the 00 800 67891011 , to be sure this time
11.55 am : I have seen on

Interesting, by the way, that the two countries which join "Euroland" on 1-Jan-2008 are not depicted on the € notes. Guess that will change in the next generation of notes - but those new ones won't come until 2010 or so ...

Thanks , u are better than an encyclopedy Romania didn't join in 2004 as I thougt I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT the 2st enlargement when it joined with Bulgaria.I almost always watch TV news and read newspapers I think it's great , now all EUROPE is in the EU
I don't uderstand u : they are both represented on the notes

[yli]

Thanks , u are better than an encyclopedy

No, it was with the use of wikipedia

I didn't know about Greenland

[tabbs]

I don't uderstand u : they are both represented on the notes

Cyprus and Malta? Err, where? They can indeed be found on the current (2nd) series of coins. But if you already have a euro bill depicting the two countries, there is something wrong with that particular note ...

Sorry i thought u were talking about the join of Romania and Bulgaria with a writing error : 08 instead of 07,infact u rightly said " euroland " sorry
I think that there will be another issue for the notes ( # 2002 ) only 4 security necessities and that will be the occasion 4 a right change I don't know how It is impossible 4 Malta

I also think that now EU 27 is the best situation with the entries of the last 2 big countries of ex - est Europe and we have to work very hard to be successful ; the next to join EU are going to be the balcanic states but I think it will take a long time.Serbia and Albania the most difficult ones.
I am looking forward to reach the number of 24 states in eurozone .. a day ..in the future Some say that Sweden has to do it in the future I am not sure
It's interesting to see that , , will change their side of the coins in the future as will do 4 the 2 - 1 € We have now 3 series 4 Vatican and 2 4 Monaco
It's interesting also to see that Cyprus pound and Maltese Lira ( as it happened 4 ) value more than 1 € all the 3 island-country
10.00 monday 15
I phoned ( 4 free ) and a person in italian from Bruxelles confirmed .

I red on wikipedia - that the new generation of notes will have EURO in cyrillic Cyprus ( no Malta ) and the initials of ECB in the new countries'languages Now there is written BCE - italian : Banca Centrale Europea ,ECB,EZB,EKT,EKP .
I think they are right changes but with all the secutity of the actual notes we are far away to make them,even if they say 2008 / 2010
EURO in cyrillic is the best thing that we can do

ciao,andrea

I also red that 2 $ are rare but that 500 ,1.000 , 5.000,10.000 , 100.000 are no more in circulation

I don't know why in the Spanish coins 4 of the 12 stars are in an arch can anybody help me ?
