German Euro Coin Starter Packs
We now have a limited supply of German Euro Coin Starter Packs. We have been asked many times in recent weeks for these, and we will always try to help out whenever there is a demand.
Information
In December 2001 starter packs of Euros went on sale in most Eurozone states. They proved to be very popular. We were told that on the first day, there was no limit on the quantity people could have, but by the second day, there were fears that the supply of the packs would run out, and a limit was placed on the number of packs each person could buy. Apparently many grannies were buying them as stocking fillers for Christmas. They are no longer available at the banks.
One Per Person
Most countries have limited the availability of starter packs to one per person, although some countries may be allowing slightly more. There was a danger that if they were handed out in unlimited quantities to individuals, the supplies could run out, and this would disrupt the education programme. Because of this, we have not previously attempted to acquire any of these sets.
Bagmarked Coins
The starter packs are packed loosely, therefore the coins they contain are likely to be somewhat bag-marked, and will not be as collectable as coins supplied in rolls or in sets. This is another reason why we originally decided against offering these starter packs. The launch of the Euro is such an important event in world history, that we have changed our views about starter packs, and can see that unopened packs may well become treasured collectors items.
Crazy Auction Prices
We have heard of starter packs from various countries selling on internet auction sites for over £145 sterling = $210 = €210 which we think is definitely somewhat over the top. This helped to persuade us that we should add the starter packs to our range.
Mints
We are not sure if all 5 mints issued starter packs, but we have heard of starter packs from Berlin, Hamburg and Munich.
