 The Eurocoin Pages - Issued and Minted Euro Circulation Coins
Often these are low mintage euro coins, that are sold only to dealers and/or collectors/investors.
High (but also low) mintage euro coins may still be in stock (at the central bank), or they are stopped (by dealers/investors or may be even bank employees) from getting into circulation, in order to make money out of them.
Euro coins that are minted for circulation, are marked as "not in circulation", if they are still in stock of (central) banks, or if it is not clear whether these coins are minted for circulation or for collectors only.
