| | Euro coins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The euro (EUR or €) is the currency of 12 European Union (EU) member states (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain), four European microstates have currency agreements with the EU member states (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican City State), Montenegro and the Kosovo province of Serbia. |
 | | Though they are not members of the EU, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City (but not Andorra) also have euro coins featuring a national side, but these only occasionally end up in general circulation as their scarcity leads to greater interest from coin collectors. |
 | | Euro coins were designed in cooperation with organisations representing blind persons, and as a result they incorporate many features allowing them to be distinguished by touch alone. |
