The extremely popular two euro commemorative coins are now here. As a response to our customers' suggestion, we will offer the commemorative coins in roll cases as well. Each roll case contains five rolls, a single roll containing 25 commemorative two euro coins from 2011.
The coins are packaged directly from the minting-machine, shiny and uncirculated. Coin rolls are especially popular among collectors. Packaged in rolls, the circulation grade commemorative coins retain their lustre for years to come. Only the coins on each end of the roll become darker as time passes.
Commemorative coins: the story
Special coin production starts with making the tools. The original stamp or mould is engraved with a digitised image of the coin. After this, the mould is hardened by heating and then cooling it quickly.
The stamp tool, or punch, is formed when the mould is pressed into the end of a steel drum. The punch is used to press a stamp with which the circulation-coin minting machine mints coins.
The quality of the circulation coins is continuously monitored, both manually and using laboratory equipment. The finished coins are packed into rolls, weighed and then packed and shrink-wrapped on a packing pallet. The order is then ready to be delivered to the customer.
