While photographing my coins, I noticed two die cracks on the reverse of this tiny coin (14 mm diameter) : at 3 'o clock, ner the edge at 7 'o clock, near the edge

Well, to be honest, I first saw it on the reverse photograph, which is shown here 1:1. After that, I took my magnifier and examined the whole coin, both sides. I have more with crack, they will follow later.

Isn't that just the last "A" in NEGARA, from "BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA" ?

While photographing my coins, I noticed several die cracks on this tiny coin (14 mm diameter) : Not well visible on the photo: there's a crack through the second "8" in the date. There's three on the reverse: one at 10 'o clock, near the edge one at 11 'o clock, near the edge one at 1 'o clock, near the edge

I think they're mainly collector sets. I do however have one Monaco 1 Euro coin (my only monaco coin actually) that I got from an italian person whom I met on a conference in Italy, who received it in change. That was back in 2003 or 2004. So some must have circulated.

I collect mint sets from The Netherlands, by year. Furthermore, I try to get complete sets of each Euro issuing country, mostly through finding them in change. I'm looking for UNC, but occasionaly I first find a lower grade that I keep as hole filler, until a better grade comes by. Just like CCG, In the beginning of the euro era, I also traded many coins with fellow collectors in various countries. In the past I also collected by mint mark or minor design changes (e.g. Belgium, has changed the nation side slightly adn the european side has changed as well, when new countriess started issuing euro coins), but I gave that up, I only go for one nice set for each country, unless a country decides to do a significant redesign, e.g. becasue of a change of ruler (as we will expeirence this year and Vatican City hasa a couple of years ago).

Thanks Art

2010 "D" cent added, a new type for me Can anyone me fill me in on how this type is normally called? And what its composition is?

Yup, that's what inspired this coin.

Because of the coming abdication of Queen Beatrix, at 30 April 2013, a special 2 euro coin is being struck now at the Royal Dutch Mint. It depicts Queen Beatrix and her son Willem Alexander, who will become king on 30 April.
