Euro Coins

I know this may be the wrong section, but I know Chatterbankians are helpful so here goes.

I am off on holiday and have found a purse of Euros - some of the 1 Euro coins are bigger than others. Are these still legal tender?

Many thanks.

I think if you look carefully you'll see the larger ones are 2 Euro coins

You're richer than you thought!

Here's a 1 euro coin and a 2 euro coin in front of it.

The designs vary depending on the country where it was minted but they are still legal currency in any "Euro-zone" country

These are French - fun game seeing how many different country coins you can find.
