Interestingly. They rare? For the first time I see such small miniatures.

Coin dealers have them in quantities still, I think quite a few were made after the Act, purporting to be made before. They are popular novelties here in the USA, I have some, my kids have them too.

The Dutch Mint used to issue such "mini-sets" too; I have a gulden set dated 2000 and a euro set dated 2002. Unfortunately they are not made any more. Here is a size comparison (not my image): http://www.snappy.de/minieuro.jpg
