Euro coins
The common sides of the coins
There are eight coins of the euro, ranging
in value from one cent to two euros (each
euro is divided into a hundred cents). The
coins first came into use in 2002. The coins
have a common reverse, portraying a map of
Europe, but each country in the Eurozone
has its own design on the obverse (including
the three European microstates with cur-
rency agreements: Monaco, San Marino and
the Vatican City State) which means that
each coin has a variety of different designs in
circulation at once.[1]
The coins, and various commemorative
coins, are minted at numerous national mints
across the European Union to strict national
quotas. Obverse designs are chosen nation-
ally, while the reverse and the currency as a
whole is managed by the European Central
Bank (ECB).
