We have 2002 Italian Euro sets in stock now for immediate delivery. All eight of the Italian coins have a different design, and this makes them one of the most attractive sets of Euro coins, along with the Italian set.
On new year's day 2002, Greece, like the other 11 members of the Eurozone, started using Euro notes and Euro coins for cash transactions. Within a few months, the old coins and banknotes in Drachmas will be withdrawn.

The Minister for the National Economy and the Governor of the Bank of Greece chose the designs for their euro coins from a set of proposals presented by a national technical and artistic committee.The designer of the winning motifs was sculptor Georges Stamatopoulos, sponsored by the Bank of Greece. There is a separate design for each denomination
