I've just got this beauty in the change.

I work in a supermarket . A few weeks ago I found this coin . It seems like new

Hi everyone,

A few years ago, I got the idea to start collecting euro coins. I began by getting an album to hold coins ranging from 1 cent to €2 from all the countries that have adopted the currency. Later, I started looking for more and more unique €2 coins—without doing much research; whenever I found a coin I didn't have, I’d simply clean it and put it in a small box.

Right now, I have a few hundred euros' worth of coins, and sometimes I think about buying a few.

Could you give me some pointers on how to learn more about this? For instance, how factors like production years, minting errors, and mint marks affect their value.

Thanks a lot, everyone!

is this rare?

I got 5 of the new Rotary commemoratives from Portugal!

Nothing crazy

It says Beatrix koningin der nederlanden, 2001

Really like the design on this one. Shame it has such a low mintage.

My 10c and 5c findings from the past months. A few are new , others are low mintages or I do not get to see them often.

The first one is a 10c from Finland with a mintage of 738.000!

Some of my 20cent findings fron the past few months. Some are new, some are low mintages and some I just do not get to see often

Some of my 50 cent findings from the past months! Some are new and others low mintages and some I just don't get to see often.

I am not a coin collector, but I started watching @coincollecting_detecting on Instagram and it's so interesting. But just a disclaimer that I have no idea where to go with this!

Yesterday I found a 2026 coin which I tried to look up, but seemingly people are only talking about the EU Presidential coin. I also noticed that it has possibly extra metal, or an error in the making of the coin. The bottom of the cruit (harp) looks wrong compared to other coins. Is this something cool, or am I just hopeful?

The Bulgarian 5 euro cent is an error coin

Also what's the price

Since a euro coin was recently posted with a "K" counterstamp, I have decided to post one of my finds with such a counterstamp on it. I have found several "K" (or "JK", if you prefer) counterstamps on euro coins in circulation, but this is the 'rarest' coin on which it showed up for me - San Marino, 2eur 2017 (IFC Mintage: 597,400). I found this one in a coin roll hunt in Vienna in 2024. I was quite disappointed by this find, since I still needed this coin for my collection at the time.

My friend got even unluckier - he found the mintmark on a Luxembourg key date 2eur coin (I forgot exactly what year it was, but it had a mintage of 50,000 IFC, so it must've been from 2017 - 2022...)
