Our Finnish Euro sets are in stock for immediate delivery.
On new year's day 2002, Finland, like the other 11 members of the Eurozone, started using Euro notes and Euro coins for cash transactions. Within a few months, the old coins and banknotes in Markaas have been withdrawn. We have uncirculated sets of Euro coins from each of the twelve member countries available in stock now and are accepting orders for immediate delivery.
Finland chose three designs based upon motifs similar to those used on national coins.
What, No Cents?
Finland has issued only very limited quantities of 1 and 2 cent coins for circulation, but we have been able to source a supply, and are able to supply all eight coins.
Packaging & Presentation:
We have uncirculated mint sets of coins from all 12 Euro zone countries in stock now for immediate delivery. Our Finnish Euro sets are packaged in an attractive card within a 2-sided plastic case so that the coins can be viewed from both sides or removed if required. We have information about official issue mint or proof sets. All of the countries will issue uncirculated sets, but many will not issue proof sets.
