 German Euro Coin Starter Packs
We were told that on the first day, there was no limit on the quantity people could have, but by the second day, there were fears that the supply of the packs would run out, and a limit was placed on the number of packs each person could buy.

The launch of the Euro is such an important event in world history, that we have changed our views about starter packs, and can see that unopened packs may well become treasured collectors items.
