Euro starter kits

Packs of euro coins of all the eight denominations sealed in a plastic bag

Euro starter kits are packs of euro coins of all the eight denominations sealed in a plastic sachet. The kits' purpose is primarily to familiarise citizens of a nation joining the eurozone with their new currency. A further objective is to provide coins for retailers' cash registers well in advance of their respective €-Day. Usually these kits are available from local banks some weeks before euro changeover.

Mainly there are two types of starter packs: business starter kits and those for the general public. The difference lies in the number of coins per pack. Business kits are intended for retailers. Therefore, they contain approximately 100 euro or more in coins, usually packed in rolls, whereas mini-starter kits are intended for the general public and usually have a small number of coins.[1][2][3]

Andorra

The Andorran government put in place a system of distribution of the starter kits so that the country's residents would gain priority over non-resident buyers.

Austria

Cyprus

Cyprus, together with Malta, joined the eurozone on 1 January 2008. On 3 December 2007, the Central Bank of Cyprus issued mini-starter packs and business kits, so that Cypriots would have enough euro cash before €-Day.[4][5]

Forty thousand starter kits, worth €172 each, were available for businesses, but only 22,000 were sold. Since these starter kits contained rolled coins, the remaining kits could easily be used by the banks after €-day. Another 250,000 mini-kits, worth €17.09 (10 CYP) each, were available for the general public. Some 189,000 mini-kits were sold. According to the Eurobarometer survey, more than 70% of those citizens who had bought a mini-kit opened it and used the coins after the changeover, while some 20% kept it untouched. After the changeover, the unsold mini-kits were exported to satisfy the demand of coin collectors abroad. Cypriot euro coins worth €3.5 million were exported in the first three weeks of January 2008.[6]

Monaco

Despite not being a member of the European Union, in 1999 Monaco also adopted the euro. This is mainly because Monaco never had its own currency and was using the French franc. The European Union has a special agreement with Monaco that normates the minting of a limited number of euro coins. Late in 2001, Monaco issued 51,200 starter kits for the nominal price of €15.25 (100 francs) each; however, today their price on commercial websites is more than €600.[2]

Vatican

Vatican 2008, 2nd Starter Kit

The Vatican City issued 1,000 starter kits on 1 March 2002.[citation needed] It was the only nation to issue starter kits well after the eurochangeover, thus, these starter kits became collectible items. Each kit consisted of eight coins, one coin of each denomination (€0.01 – €2.00), thereby having a face value of €3.88. Each coin has a depiction of the now late pope, John Paul II. Although these packs were available for free, nowadays, their price on commercial websites is significant. With only 1,000 issues, this is the rarest starter kit.[16][failed verification]

In 2008 the Vatican City released 6,400 'starter kits'; however, this time the coins featured the now late Benedict XVI. Each kit contains eight coins, again a coin of each denomination, and was given to the inhabitants and employees of the Vatican for free.[17]
