Rare euro coins are in great demand among collectors.
But it doesn't always have to be old currencies.
Today's pieces are also very valuable.
Some euro coins are more valuable than others - even though they do not have the same or perhaps even an apparently lower value.
Some of them are so rare or have such special features that collectors would shell out up to thousands of euros for them.
But how do I know if I have one of these precious pieces of money?
So you get more for your euros
Tip 1:
Anyone who owns a
euro coin from Monaco has
hit the jackpot, according to n-tv.
Because these coins, which have been in circulation since 2007, are few and far between: there are only about 20,000 of them.
They are characterized by having
a portrait of Gracia Patricia
of Monaco, also known as Grace Kelly,
on the reverse
.
This is a special issue for the 25th anniversary of the death of the former princess.
Collectors are said
to
pay
up to 2000 euros
for one of these special coins.

Tip 2:
With the eastward expansion of the EU, new coins came out.
But not every mint did so quickly - and this resulted in
coins with incorrect mints
that are still in circulation today.
So if you happen
to
find
a coin with a
map of Europe
that is
too small in your wallet
, you already have an impressive value
of up to 600 euros
in your hand.
Tip 3:
Pay attention to
serial numbers
with banknotes
.
If a note has a
special combination of numbers
, then you can count yourself lucky - and
demand
thousands of euros
from collectors
.
Also interesting: if you find this 50-cent coin in your wallet, you can cash in up to 750 euros.
