Euromaksuja

Euromaksuja, also known as euro coins, are coins issued by the European Union (EU) and used as legal tender within the Eurozone. The Eurozone consists of 20 member states of the EU, including Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Euromaksuja are designed to be uniform in appearance across all participating countries, with the exception of the national side of the coin, which features the country's coat of arms or other national symbols. The coins are made of various metals, including copper, nickel, and gold, and come in denominations of 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 euro, and 2 euros. The 1 cent and 2 cent coins are no longer in circulation due to their low value and the high cost of producing them. The 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, and 50 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel, while the 1 euro and 2 euro coins are made of copper-nickel and copper-nickel-gold, respectively. Euromaksuja are produced by the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht, Netherlands, and are distributed to the central banks of the Eurozone member states. The coins are widely accepted in all Eurozone countries, making them a convenient and efficient means of payment. However, they are not accepted in the non-Eurozone countries of the EU, which continue to use their own national currencies.
