Euro dispersion

Sunday I finally got my first euro coin from Austria in circulation - a 2 Euro coin from 2002. It threw me for awhile as it has a female effigy. Only one country left - I still have not received any euro coins from Finland in change (I did get a set of Finnish euros from a Finnish chap in a bar in Brussels but that doesn't count image )

I am now in Lisbon for the week. When I was here in the fall of 2004 all I ever received in change was Portuguese euro coins. So far this trip I am seeing more variety in my change.

  • Welcome to Lisbon, hope you're enjoying your stay with us!
    Don't forget to visit the "Banco de Portugal" museum to see a lot of almost unique coins and banknotes, it's only open 10/12 AM and 2/4 PM but the visit is worthwhile (and its free...).

    And yes, the number of Spanish and French coins in circulation have increased a lot in these last couple of years!
