VATICAN Mintage increase

message written by Joël Tissot

The vatican state and european union signed a new monetary convention updating the mintage of euro currency .

Folowing this convention, vatican state is now allowed to mint € 2.300.000. Previously the mintage was about € 1.074.000.

More than 50% of the mintage will be put in circulation by vatican shops and mixed with Italian rolls coins.

Officialy 51% of this mintage will be for circulation but we probably  don't find Vatican's euro in our pocket from a long time. The best thing will be these coins market price decrease and will be more accesible to many collectors .

MONACO 2009 BU set in Monacophil

message written by Joël Tissot

The Monacophil exibition was the so much awaited moment of the putting for sale of the Monaco 2009 boxed set.

The event was important enought because it was about the issuing of the first € series in BU quality since the accession to the throne of its Highness Prince Albert II and also since the change of the common side in 2007.

The putting for sale and the conditions in wichit took place is more than questionable as well on the organization's plan as on that of the distribution way.

To obtain this precious box, one needed first of all to make a purchase of stamps for an amount of €80 at the OETP's stand. According to informations communicated before, it was stipulated that each person could purchase a maximum of 3 BU sets, but  the reality  was completly different, each one could easily being able to get much more than the imposed threshold. Well organized teams, coming from many countries for a systematic collecting were to pick out.

This sale unfoled under terrible conditions, up to the limit of the elementary safety requirements.

Mintage : 8.000

Issuing price: €50 (+ €80 stamps)

Written with precious help from Joachim Marchandise.
