Euro coins have one common side and one national side. They can be used anywhere within the euro area, regardless of the country of issue. So for example a euro coin issued in Spain and featuring a Spanish national side can be used to buy goods in Finland, Italy or Portugal.

There are coins in denominations of €2, €1, 50 cent, 20 cent, 10 cent, 5 cent, 2 cent and 1 cent. There are 100 cent to €1.

Euro coins are also available for Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City. Pictures are not available here but are on the European Commission and ECB websites from the links page on this site.
