Numbers in circulation
[edit]I was very surprised to see (under Circulation/Statistics) that more coins of the 1c denomination are in circulation than of any other denomination.
I live in the Eurozone and don't see many 1c coins. When I get one or two in change, I try to get rid of them as quickly as possible because they're a nuisance, but I don't think I've ever had more than 2 at any one time. I see far more 5c and 10c coins. Similarly, the article says that the USA has minted 300 billion $0.01 coins since 1983. That's nearly 1,000 coins per inhabitant of the USA! What has happened to all these coins? Surely almost nobody has got 1,000 $0.01 coins?
Maybe somebody somewhere is melting them down for scrap, because the copper they contain is worth more than the face value of the coins? Sayitclearly (talk) 09:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Cent design change
[edit]- "Starting in 2017 the 1, 2 and 5 cent coins from individual member states have started adjusting their common side design to a new version, identified by smaller and more rounded numeral and longer lines outside of the stars at the coin's circumference."
Firstly, the source doesn't spell this out, it gives a different year and only mentions one country and one coin. Second, looking at the image on that page that says the closest thing to that sentence, I think it's wrong. I can't see any significant change. Third, I can't find anything else to back this up. At most this is a slight variation in minting. Any deliberate Eurozone-wide change in the design would be in the OJEU. 31.127.71.58 (talk) 14:01, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Please find below other sources, in fact showing various small eurocent coins from at least 4 countries. The change, while minor, is real and not just a minting variety, as it appears in coins minted in at least 7 mints (Slovak mint, Austrian mint, Italian mint, all 5 German mints).

Design regulations
[edit]Does someone know why "(sic)" is used in the text below? It can be found in the article under Design->National Sides->Subsequent changes
However, the regulation only stipulates 20 June 2062 (sic) [What exactly is the "erroneous, archaic, or otherwise nonstandard spelling or punctuation" here?] as a deadline for revising designs.[1]

Bulgarian euro coins
[edit]Hello everyone! In February 2024, the Council of the EU approved the design of the Bulgarian euro coins. Therefore, I propose to create a separate article for the Bulgarian euro coins, similar to the articles for the other 20 countries in the eurozone. Thanks in advance!
