THE HAGUE - The set of euro coins that Dutch citizens received as a gift when introducing the euro has not become worth a cent after ten years. Those who want to sell the coins will receive a maximum of 388 euros for them. That's exactly the value on it. In December 2001, millions of the cardboard sets were distributed to everyone aged 6 and over. It contained 2 and 1 euro coins and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cent coins. The fact that the special series is now not profitable is simply because too many were put into circulation at that time, says Chris Kok of the Hague stamp and coin dealer Insulinde. “A matter of supply and demand,” he explains. “If you want to earn money on a euro, you'd better buy copies that were released in small batches. And they usually come from small euro countries.“ According to him, the best example of this is a 2 euro coin from Monaco depicting Grace Kelly. Only 20,000 copies of the coin appeared in 2007. Someone who has one now can rub their hands. In trading, he generates 1500 euros.
