Euro coins have been significant in news recently due to various factors. To celebrate 50 years of the
European Space Agency (ESA), unique euro coins were released, whereas
Bulgarian saints and the
Madara Rider will adorn the national euro coins. Concerning the currency's stability, the
trade war has pushed the euro higher, and the
EURC (euro-pegged stablecoin by Circle) is growing in strength according to analysts. Meanwhile, there might be serious reconsideration of euro cent coins, and both the one and two-cent euro coins are being phased out in Estonia. A street vendor in Spain was arrested for importing 10,000 fake euros from China, reflecting ongoing issues with counterfeit coins.
Surprisingly, some euro coins are proving to be highly valuable, like a €1 coin that's worth almost €2,000, and a 2-euro coin offering a 'ticket' to Las Vegas. Others showcase their nations, like a new 5 Euro silver coin marking Austria's world cup and Vatican’s latest 20 euro coin featuring St. Peter and a rooster. Amidst this,
Binance has listed a new euro-pegged stablecoin EURI, backed by the banking circle, to make stablecoins more accessible. Of note, MiCA rules are predicted to boost Euro-denominated stablecoins.
In some rather entertaining news, Portugal has issued a 7-euro coin in honor of
Cristiano Ronaldo, making a splash among collectors.
Looking ahead, digital euros are seen as the future of money in Europe. As Bulgarian ATMs are set to distribute exclusively euros by January 2026, Bulgaria's central bank has approved revised designs of its euro coins, with just one change.
