KM questions on Euros

I'm just back from Madrid - going to Lisbon in a week and have questions on Euro design changes since my Krause catalogs are out of date:

What year was the reverse design updated for the new member countries - 2007?
Did the globe design used on the minors (1, 2, and 5 cent coins) change also?

What are the KM numbers for the new reverse design coins for Spain?


I received quite a variety of coins in change this trip - unlike my previous trips to Spain. I even received my first Finnish euro coin in change! In my many trips since the introduction of the Euro Finland was the only one of the original Euro countries I had never received a coin in change from. image

The other item I noticed on this trip is the spread of dates on the coins received in change. In previous trips to Europe the coins were almost exclusively from 1999-2002 - in other words the coins from the original flood of coinage to support the conversion. This trip the coins were dated from 1999-2010! I think this is a good sign.
