As from Thursday 24th January 2002, we are no longer accepting orders for Monaco, San Marino or Vatican Euro sets unless they are part of a larger order for other sets. Even then, we can not guarantee being able to fill the orders, although we will try our best, and allocate sets in order of date received. This is because of overwhelming demand for the official sets of these three states. We have, in the past week, had multiple requests for 100, 500, and 1,000 sets of each, which we have turned down.

General Introduction
The Vatican Starts Using The Euro on January 1st 2002
On new year's day 2002, The Vatican, 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 Within a few months, the old coins and banknotes in Lire will be withdrawn. We expect to have uncirculated sets of Euro coins from all of the twelve member countries available in January 2002, and are accepting advance orders now.
The designs of all eight of the Euro coins for the Vatican are identical, showing His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, facing right.

Eight Coins Per Set
All national Euro sets contain all 8 coin denominations unless otherwise stated.

Order or Reserve Early
Despite the fact that we have not yet been told the price or release date of Vatican Euro sets, there is fantastic demand for them. The best advice we can give is to order or reserve them early before they sell out! This may sound crazy, but it can be quiet a common occurrence when dealing with with mints, governments and bureaucrats. They have a monopoly position, and can sell all they want to before giving out any useful consumer information such as price or availability. We will fill all our orders in the order in which they were received. Because of heavy demand for Vatican sets, we may have to restrict orders to those customers who order other sets. Similar advice may apply also to San Marino, Monaco, and other countries.

Packaging & Presentation
We expect to have uncirculated official mint sets of coins from all 12 Euro zone countries in stock during 2002, plus the three minor states including the Vatican. Our Vatican Euro sets are packaged in an attractive card within a 2-sided plastic case so that the coins can be viewed from both sides or removed if required. We have information about official issue mint or proof sets. All of the countries will issue uncirculated sets, but many will not issue proof sets.

Official Sets Only
For the 12 main countries, we have arranged supplies of coins to reach us in January 2002, and can therefore offer both our own unofficial sets and the official mint sets. For the three minor states including the Vatican, we can only currently offer the official sets.
