FINLAND PRE-EURO & EURO COIN SETS both DISPLAYED in CD CASES with INFORMATION
This amazing group saw the end of an era of independent coinages from
Finland

nd although Europe has witnessed other attempts at unifying several currencies (one of the most successful was begun by Napoleon), none was as determined as this most recent switch in 2002. Twelve countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain) joined at once, ending some of the world's oldest coin denomination types.
This
Finland
set
in a CD case is one of the countries that came aboard in 2002 and includes a panel featuring the coin (a couple of coins may come loose during transport, but you can easily put them back) set with the actual circulating values of the very last issues before the Euro was issued.
Many members-to-be of the Euro zone had ceased production of coinage well before the 2002 cutoff date, as it was felt that what was in circulation could stay that way. Some of the coins became scarce, especially in brand new condition - this grouping consists of mainly uncirculated pieces, with some ranging into the extremely fine category and a few with some tarnish etc.
The second set in this offering is
Finland
's
first Complete Euro set which is uniquely cultural on the one side and basically the same as the other Euro countries on the other.
There are 2 sets in this Finland
lot (the Pre-Euro & the Euro).
