	These are 1€ coins....

	Masternachos:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 23:58 GMT		6 points
	Thanks for the quiz! I didn't know that each country still had it's own coin within the Euro. I thought the Euro was just the same everywhere. Well, that's being American for ya.

	@Masternachos: Coins differ for each country but the notes are the same.

	Fatlip:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 09:19 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz. Was always wondering where some came from.. Time ran out fast indeed. Got 12 right.

	Gaudeo:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 11:03 GMT		3 points
	That was fun! I had more than enough time, got 17 correct. Only missed slovenia and cyprus...

	Used Euros dozens of times, but haven't seen almost any of these. Guess you usually see only the bigger countries' versions since they probably produce more of them. Good stuff!

	Didn't think non-EU countries which use money of another country.

	cranberry_sauce:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 14:43 GMT		2 points
	i didnt know that those counries which arent even in EU have their own version of euro. well, i guess there is not many of those from vatican on san marino around.

	Great quiz! I've been hoping for something like this :D You might want to add a minute or two, though :)

	Wow those are some cool coins. US coins are so boring...

	nyo:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 11:25 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz, definitely needs to be published.

	beckala63:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 13:53 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz! I love collecting these coins from each country I visit. Although sometimes it is like a treasure hunt trying to find the less common ones, lol. :-)

	moan:	Feb 27th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT		2 points
	For some reason i completely forgot Ireland. Kept wondering why that coin is so familiar, because I know some of them due to living in tourist destination (in Finland).

	Great quiz. I so love the Greek coin in a coin. Their 2 € coin showing the abduction of Europa is great, too.

	dj_dazzling:	Feb 27th, 2010 at 23:03 GMT		3 points
	Love this quiz - I collect coins so good for me to see one of my pet interests as part of a Sporcle quiz! I think the time is about right - any longer and you'd have people trying every country in Europe (even maybe the UK!). Definately nominated.

	@gribelli8 Sporcle has always accepted Vatican for Vatican City. Sporcle convention ought to be followed.

	the_luggage:	Sep 18th, 2011 at 20:19 GMT		2 points
	Great idea for a quiz. Not only tests one's knowledge of which countries are in the Euro but also which coin is whose. 5 Globes!

	magicalsushi:	Sep 19th, 2011 at 00:29 GMT		2 points
	I found it a bit difficult to match up the numbers with the coins. It's fine if you work through them in order, but if you jump around, it's easy to lose track of whether the numbers come to the left or the right of the coins. If there were a wider gap between the coins, it would be clearer which nubmer goes with which coin.

	You are missing Estonia (it joined at the beginning of 2011).

	Claudi0:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 06:38 GMT		0 points
	Is that Michael Douglas portrayed in the Spanish coin?

	DunKhan:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 19:19 GMT		0 points
	Good stuff, though missing Estonia. Re: Vatican, San Marino and Monaco - these microstates are outside the EU but have special permission to mint their own Euro coins, they aren't in the Eurozone however. Montenegro and Kosovo also use € unofficially, but don't have their own coins. If you wanted to be really evil you could find the mockups of the coins for the EU countries currently outside the euro and put them up. Might be a bit too harsh though.

	inomu:	Sep 21st, 2011 at 08:42 GMT		1 point
	The coins from Monaco, Vatican City and San Marino are mostly collectors items so thats why you don't see them in circulation. But you can use them like any other euro coins too but thats just stupid as their value is higher.

	Interesting how you covered up Slovenija but not Kibris, and especially surprising you didn't cover up Portugal!

	It's a good quiz as it is but you could definitely tidy it up a bit. Go to the style page and reduce the size of the first two columns so that the third column doesn't have to expand downwards and stretch the quiz off the page (maybe add some colour while you're at it but that is hardly essential). Continue to accept 'Vatican' but use Vatican City as the displayed answer (ie change the answer on your data page from Vatican --> Vatican City/Vatican). Erasing the hand drawn numbers and adding proper text versions would take about 2 minutes in Paint and would make everything look a bit clearer.

	Great quiz, definitely needs Estonia adding though.

	It's good to get this quiz in before the Euro collapses and breaks up. When Greece has to leave the Euro area, one option is to make the Greek Euro coins worth less.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 21:30 GMT		1 point
	Of course, if Greece leaves the Euro (and that is a big "if"), their coins would still be Euro coins and be worth 1€ (or other denominations). Greece just would stop producing them and probably change them into a "New Drachma" or whatever it would be called. Your suggestion would not work for various reasons, for example Greek coins in circulation anywhere else in Europe. Also, when introducing a new currency you always exchange the old one.
