Thank you guys.

Kel, there is nothing fancy about the photos I take.
I just use a Fujifilm J40 set on full auto, and macro.
I leave the flash on for better depth to the pic, but
tape some paper over the flash to tone it down a bit.
I'm sure you could do it too.

Between 2002 and 2013, Denmark had a fairly extensive circulation commemorative coin program. They called it ''Thematic Coins.''
There were three 20 kr series: Towers (2002-2007), Ships (2007-2012) and Scientists (2013) and two 10 kr series Fairy Tales (2005-2007) and Polar Year (2007-2009). I have my eyes on them for quite some time. However, they are quite expensive for cc coins. But I finally decided to get me the 10 kr coins.

They were released into circulation beginning at the end of January 2019. It took a long time before I got my first one from circulation. Yesterday in change at a supermarket. Almost five months. I have usually found the coins of this series (€2 German state series) within the first four weeks of issue (one per year has been issued since 2006).

Nice find Ralf.
Looks like your coins are as hard to find as ours.

JeffH · June 23, 2019, 06:23:16 PM

Gee whiz. You are lucky to find new issues in the same year. Where i kive sometimes it is two years before they start turning up.

Yes, 2019 is turning out to be a very difficult year for finding new coins in circulation...at least for me.

By the way, this little thing will travel to Australia sometime in the future. :grin:

I feel your pain.
I am also still searching for certain circulation coins from 2017 and 2018. It's the ''German five mint / mintmarks problem.''

These three arrived a few days ago

Very nice.
I thought holes would be nice in our coins,
but then I remembered that it would mean
a hole in the Queen's face.
