Trantor_3 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 yup, post office already has them, clerk told me... but she wouldn't sell them. It will be the "credit card" package again, post office didn't get any rolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 One more day ... Here is a short video that presents the new coin: http://nl.knm.nl/domains/knm/content/animatic_99.999.mpg Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Have not seen that yet, but then again we only get one Dutch channel here (cable, Düsseldorf) anyway. By the way, will that coin not be available "loose" at all? Those coin cards sure are nice, but I think it is odd to emphasize that these are legal tender and can be used for regular payments if the card is actually the only way to get them ...

Trantor_3 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Oh, they will be available from rolls too, but our postoffice only got the ones in the cards. At least, that's what I was told two weeks ago. By then they already had them, but today the first one was struck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Cool. all I understood was 'Urro'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Ha, je moet Nederlands leren :-) Actually we already know what the lady says ... Celebrate 60 years of peace and freedom with the new Vredes Vijfje (Peace Fiver). With that coin you can pay in all of the Netherlands (that is the subtle hint about such collector coins being legal tender in the issuing member state only ) or you can of course collect it. Go to the post office, pay 5 euro for 5 euro and get the Vredes Vijfje in a free card (folder). More info at www.herdenkingsmunt.nl And the rest is about the slightly more expensive €10 gold coin, hehe. Erik, I would of course not mind getting the V.V. in that coin card, hint hint ...

Trantor_3 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Cool. all I understood was 'Urro'. Erik, I would of course not mind getting the V.V. in that coin card, hint hint ... That's the one you will be getting, Christian, as far as I know. The last part of the movie was indeed about the much more expensive €10 coin, which costs €135 and is made of gold. What they say is that when you go to the post office to collect your 5 euro coin, you make a chance in winning a gold €10 coin worth €135. They do not say you also have to answer a question correctly (how many dutch eruo commems have been issued so far?) and complete a sentence : "60 years of peace and freedom mean to me: ...."

crystalk64 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes, I would like to know how many Dutch silver euro's have been issued so I will know how many I have missed? Hopefully this will be one country I am up to date on. Let us all know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 OK, I have them And I really like it High resolution (1249x1260) pictures can be found here : Obverse Reverse (each is almost 300 KB large) Tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'll be heading to the post office to determine shipping cost. After that, I'll be informing you all about the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalk64 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Eagerly awaiting a new coin to ADOPT! Seems the silver euro's are coming a little slower this year? Either that or I am missing a bunch of issues! Also thanks for the list you posted. Do believe I am up to date but will get the coins out and double check to make sure.

tabbs Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 And I really like it You are not the only one ;-) Admittedly I would have expected a different design for that theme. But visualizing the occasion is difficult ... Anyway, the piece itself looks cool! Oh, and I posted the two links (URLs only, no embedded pics) to a German forum. Hope that is OK with you - in case you get too much traffic coming from emuenzen.de, you know who to blame Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But visualizing the occasion is difficult ... Anyway, the piece itself looks cool! In the design of the Peace Fiver, small dots sparkle around Queen Beatrix. Designer Suzan Drummen: "The dots suggest space which makes the coin look a bit spherical. And space is something I assiciate with freedom." Oh, and I posted the two links (URLs only, no embedded pics) to a German forum. Hope that is OK with you - in case you get too much traffic coming from emuenzen.de, you know who to blame Christian Oh, that's OK with me.

crystalk64 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Heading for the coin shop today to do a little shopping for Trantor_3 so I can return his favor and put a little something in his mailbox! Trading has brought me the utmost pleasure and helping another collector fulfill his set is a very rewarding experience. I just wish I had the opportunity to start this 30 years ago but I had to wait on the internet and computers to make it all possible. For someone who never wanted a computer in his home I have found I was never so wrong about anything in my life. The world of the computer is far greater than I could ever have imagined and it has become a very important part of my life and serves as the most important tool in my world of collecting. Would be lost without it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 It's here, it's here Thank you, Erik, for that coin! When I saw the very first images of the design, I was admittedly not awfully overwhelmed - but this piece is a very good example of how the actual piece looks much better than the design pictures. A magnifying glass, or the images you posted earlier, can also help discover all those details Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for the previous one, the aniversay coin, looked at it using a magnifying glass reveils a lot of details and insight in the design methods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalk64 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 A big thank you to Erik for getting a few Euros to me here in the Euro-less USA! By the time the dealers get them over here the average coin collector can't afford them and that is only if they manage to get them. Erik, Your selection of goodies is on the way and do hope you enjoy what I managed to pick up. Let me know and again thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
