Hello there! The article is great, or rather, going to be. Both in terms of excellence and in size, as it is already ridiculously big. I recommend that it is moved into it's individual page, as Austria, or a title akin to the one in the Subject line. I'm not sure about the inclusion of "market price", as that is one of the most volatile aspects of any coin, and it can easily get outdated. Are you willing to keep a check on that once you create the page? I don't think so. Also, the descriptions of the coins are great, but again, quite lengthy. As this page is interesting to numismatics, standardisations and shorter descriptions are adequate. Otherwise an all round brilliant article. George Adam Horváth ( talk) 15:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I do believe that their are no Euro Gold & Silver Commemorative coins missing from the list. (up to and including 2007) Kevin hipwell ( talk) 00:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Under Ireland the sentence the only one bimetal using another materials is not quite true, the coin is not actually bimetal but it is an alloy, the red and green on the coin is a paint like substance not a metal.
I've been up all night its so I'm gunna sleep now lol. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 10:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I have put up a list of Gold & Silver Commemorative coins however the list only contains that which I could find on the monnaie de paris website if someone knows where i can find an TRUE EXTENSIVE list I will do the effort of putting them on this page. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 00:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Also if anyone can tell me where I can find the Date of Release of the coins I will add that too Kevin hipwell ( talk) 00:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I think we should dramatically change this article as the more detailed articles (such as the "Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria), (Belgium), (France) & (Ireland)") convey the message of each section more effectively and efficiently. also if we continue building this article using the current method I feel it will become to big and ugly Kevin hipwell ( talk) 17:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Although I would not like for this article to be reduced to a simple list of links perhaps we can instead have this article give a brief intro to each of the respective country's authoritative body's responsible for the release of Euro gold and silver commemorative coins & also provide the links to the more detailed articles. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 17:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
why only gold and silver comm coins and not all the euro comm coins except the 2eur comm??? -- Melitikus ( talk) 20:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
so the title is misleading, Euro Commemorative Coins would be better-- Melitikus ( talk) 08:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
and how about near the Face Value put a column with the Issue Price - usually these 2 are different from each and this info would be very useful for the collectors--

im sure that collectors would help in giving the issue price, for example the Maltese BU set 2008 has a face value of only 3.88EUR but the sales price from the bank was 35EUR - of course on ebay and other sites will be much more but im asking to quote the price from the bank - in Malta when the bank issue a coin let say in 2004 the face value of the Malta joining the EU comm coin was Lm25 but sold for Lm35 - so even though the face value was only Lm25 , you wouldnt get it for less than Lm35 - of course the price includes the nice box and certificate
ah and i must say that this article is very comprehensive, something that collectors enjoy to read - thanks-- Melitikus ( talk) 18:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
how about adding a new article, one about the Euro starter kits and another one about the BU/Proof sets from each country?, something similar like the article 'Euro gold and silver comm coins'-- Melitikus ( talk) 08:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
yes, all you need a collector from each eurozone country , maybe the pope can do the vatican one :-)-- Melitikus ( talk) 18:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I've just started this article about the Euro Starter Kits and i will write the section about Malta - i hope others will fill the rest - I also hope the one day we'll build a table that takes in it all the articles related to the euro - so all the euro-related article will be gathered under one umbrella

the following article isnt similar to the 'Gold and Silver Comm Coins (Belgium)?? -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commemorative_coins_of_Belgium
-- Melitikus ( talk) 18:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I think the initial intention of that article and its sister articles was to contain all the commemorative coins each country had issued, however the Euro commemorative coins in themselves are very large articles so we separated them from each countries previous currency. I have not removed the Euro coins from the Belgium article simply because my current priority's are with creating the articles dealing with Euro coins. I hope to have the 2 articles one dealing with pre-Euro issues and the other with Euro issues for every country, for an example compare Commemorative coins of Ireland & Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Ireland). Kevin hipwell ( talk) 20:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I believe this page should just be an introduction to the euro commemorative coins, then the table from which one can opt the country should be placed - i dont see any scope of having all the countries in one page when we have dedicated pages - what do you think?-- Melitikus ( talk) 18:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes that's a very good idea!--

I am wondering why this tag was put in the beginning of the article, when all the images here are under the fair-use rationale for currency pictures. Does anyone have a clue? I have asked the editor ... Miguel.mateo ( talk) 09:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm a little worried that the sentence They have not used any other materials and they have not minted bimetal collectors' coins might be mis-interpreted by readers to suggest that Belgium has not release any commemorative coins other than in gold and silver. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 05:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
Another editor recently changed all subsections in all articles from === to ==, without any particular reason. I was wondering if there is any consensus out there since I personally liked more the way it used to be. Any opinions?
Thanks, Miguel.mateo ( talk) 04:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I just opened the following articles and I hope that you will all help to expand it
-- Melitikus ( talk) 22:23, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Just FYI, in case you want to follow what happens, I am proposing Belgium for Featured Article List (FL), the discussion is here:
Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Belgium)/archive1 ... Once the experience in this process is obtained, I am planning to propose Austria, Finland and Ireland (which are almost finished, needed to be polished) for FA as well.
Please be ready to any sort of outcome, since the reviewers are experienced editors and they may come with realy interesting and challenging ideas.
Thanks, Miguel.mateo ( talk) 10:06, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the Vatican article is ready, I have also included the €2 commemorative coins but if you disagree about that just delete them.-- Melitikus ( talk) 19:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
In Malta and as far as I know in all the former British colonies when we write let say 3 million in figures we write it this way 3,000,000 but in other countries they write it as 3.000.000 - then if we write 5 euro 25 cents we write €5.25 and they write €5,25 – which system should we use on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melitikus ( talk • contribs) 14:46, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I have always used 3,000,000 & €5.25 that is the way I have been thought. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 15:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes thats because you live in Ireland :-)-- Melitikus ( talk) 15:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I live in Japan, and it is as you guys have expressed. My English education is mainly American English, that may be the why ;) Miguel.mateo ( talk) 15:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi – I know this wont sound very nice to you but in my opinion these pages should also include the €2 commemorative coins. So these pages would serve as the basic structure of commemorative coins - so we would have a page e.g.
And im also curious that once all these topics are ready is it possible to gather them all under one portal just for euro coins?-- Melitikus ( talk) 10:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey sound like good ideas, Im up for a discussion on it when the articles are finished (so don't forget to remind me), At the moment I don't want to derail my focus untill the articles are complete. Kevin hipwell ( talk) 00:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
There is a discrepancy in the joining date. In this article it is said that Austria joined eurozone in 2002 but in the Eurozone article it is said that they joined in 1999. Which date is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by (GD) ( talk • contribs) 09:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
