 | | The fifty-cent coin is also gold in colour and is noticeably thicker, heavier, and larger than the smaller coins, and it has a coarsely serrated edge. | | | The Netherlands have also practically decommissioned the 1- and 2-cent coins, pressured by the retail business who claim dealing with 1- and 2-cent coins is too expensive. | | | In general, the greater the value, the heavier the coin; and the greater the value, the larger the coin. |

| | Or they may use well known national symbols on some of the coins, like the oak leaves which were on the German pfennig and have been carried over into the low-denomination cent coins as a sign of continuity. | | | Offers of euro coins are abundant in online auctions; there are websites for swapping coins and websites for tracking how quickly the coins turn up in pockets and purses in other euro countries. | | | He rues the fact that more was not made of the appeal of the variety of coins when they were launched, rather than concentrating on ensuring the coins were recognised and accepted. |

| | The basic design of the one-markka coin has remained unchanged for the past 140 years - carrying the lion rampant from the Finnish coat of arms. | | | After a period of fast inflation in the 1950s, there was a currency reform changing 100 old markkas for one new markka. | | | Because of its value as a national symbol, there has been a lot of nostalgia and some opposition to the mark being replaced by the euro. |
