Project EUF, rendered graphically as ProjectEUF, is a project started by me on April 30, 2020, that plans to collect at least one "representative" of each type of euro coin of all the states currently belonging to the euro area, including the 2 euro commemorative coins.
Who?
This project has been started and carried on by me!
What?
Project EUF plans to collect at least one "representative" of each type of euro coin of all the states currently belonging to the euro area, including the 2 euro commemorative coins.
Project EUF means "Project EUro Finding"
Where?
Well, there's not exactly a where: I can find the coin I need at my house, ask a relative of mine or on one trip of mine...
When?
Project EUF started on 30 April 2020, and it'll finish when I'll have all the euro coins of all the states in euro area. Maybe, I'll never finish it!
Why?
I always loved to look at coins, look at them, find out what was written on them, but in the end even my favorites were lost. Maybe I'm doing Project EUF a little for me, a little for the satisfaction of having a complete collection.
How?
I think the original part of Project EUF is that I have to collect coins, find them, but never buy them. I can always ask a relative or a friend to give me a coin that I need (obviously paying him back), but never buy one.
