A long time ago I bought bread with this 2 euro coin. I thought it was a fake.

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You should’ve paid with another coin

As if that is actually soled for that price :o.

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Currently just for offer, but pretty much all offers are somewhere in the thousands

I dont think this one is realistic, see for instance

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

8 euros for 2 euros. What a steal

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Well, my mistake then

[–] neeeeDanke@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

Wth, I always use them to pay when I have one...

Yeah, all or at least many countries made these EMU coins in 2009, I have a few somewhere I think.

That coin looks like it should be in a sandwich

Because then it would be

In bread

Ah yes, the coin commemorating 10 years of the single euro payments area https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Euro-Gedenkm%C3%BCnzen#Jahrgang_2009

I thought that was a Canadian 2$ coin from the thumbnail but it's even cooler.

[–] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Our name is cooler

“Toonie”

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Looks like reddit silver

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

is it just the dutch? or was there other countries that had these coins, like malta.

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They were issued across the EU.

They release commemorative 2 euro coins regularly. This was the design chosen in 2009 to commentate the 10 year anniversary of the euro. 78 million were made.
