A straw to cling to…Article 3 of the Regulation (EU) No 651/2012 on the issuance of Euro coins published today:
“A minor proportion, not exceeding 5 % of the cumulated total net value and volume of circulation coins issued by a Member State, taking into account only years with positive net issuance, may be put on the market above face value if justified by the special quality of the coin, a special packaging or any additional services provided.”
This is actually in the context of commemorative and collectible Euro coins…but that’s enough jokes.
