How have you not noticed before? They’ve been around for ages and are fairly common.
I remember them so ugly even for the euro
It’s a real coin.
Yep real and not rare have a fair few in a tub
Yeah it’s real and I’ve always wondered if it’s the reason Ireland doesn’t make unique Euro coins any more.
Looks like the Euro coins the Druids got 3000 years agow when they joined.
No it’s plastic 😂😂
Is anything real?
This has made me realise that I haven’t paid for anything with physical money for well over a year, maybe 2.
Designed by Boris Johnson
I’ll give you a euro for it.
I really hope it is lol
Nice one out now commerating 50 years within the EU (€2 coin that is)
Who actually uses cash anymore???
Of course it’s real, it’s the best 2 euro coin ever made 😈
Totally fake man
Edit: Apparently it’s real but was designed to look awful to convey how far the euro has come.
-Technically. It’s a case of bystander syndrome where someone released very clearly fake 2 euro coins into the EU and no one pulled them up on it until they were too deep into circulation.-
My favourite thing about this coin is all the legitimate artists who spent ages on their designs, only to be beaten by stick man.
It’s the euro equivalent of boaty mc boatface
There is a great story on how this coin was designed
It’s real and the story behind it is funny, there was an open internet vote for the design. And the internet being the internet decided on the meme
I would say no. You used to be able to get two lions, or a lion and a pair of curly-wurlys, say, with one of those, but now one of those frequently won’t get you even a single lion. The amount of work it takes to get one of those feels around the same though. So, in that regard, I think it is really quite un-real
Loads of them around.
It’s called currency. It’s a human invention.
A shared fiction (like government, nationalism, human rights).
We all agree to believe it has value, and it makes trading stuff… Waaaayyy easier.
Calt believe we finally got off using grain. Metal tends to suffer entropy a bit slower.

There is no spoon.
Yep. It’s real. 10th anniversary of Economic and Monetary Union. Issued Eurozone wide
Holy fuck that a extremely rare coin, last one that sold at auction went for over €3000
Yes, it’s real.

Yeah. Can’t say I noticed them until I saw a [Qxir video](https://youtu.be/3_9r8G02lEQ?si=XMsSQKul5X1kfumM) about it though.
Make it reel
That little man is telling you it’s Euro
