Hello Kazunari-san (or better say "Ohayo gozaimasu Kazunari-san" if my japanese lessons are not too rusty in my mind...)
Yep, you are true. 8 different coins : - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents - 1 and 2 euros Every country has to have a common face (representing a map of Europe), and is allowed to have a custom design on the back. Most country have 3 different back designs I think, depending on the value of the coin : 1 / 2 / 5 cents, 10 / 20 / 50 cents, or 1 / 2 euros. The only exception I know is Netherlands, which has identical back design for any coin (being queen Beatrix's face) But since the shape and color of each coin make it quite recognisable, there is no real matter weather it comes from Spain, Greece or Finland. I even makes it funnier, thinking a coin travelled all through Europe before arriving in you wallet ;) Have a nice day (even though it must be kind of late already out there in Japan...)
