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 .
