origin of coin country
I recently picked up an amount of coins from a friend who was in Europe and there were a few coins in the lot from somewhere I am not sure of. The coins have REPUBLIC HRVATSKA written on them. If anyone knows where they are fom drop me a line please. Also concerning Euro coins how do you tell the countries apart. I have identified Netherlands, written on it, and France, RF is written on the coins that I got from St. Pierrre the french colony off Newfoundland.
I have one with what looks like the German Eagle, and some the have IR that I think are from Italy. Thanks in advance Doug Miller |

For practical purposes it does not really matter where a specific euro coin is from, since all euro circulation coins are legal tender in all member states. Of course for euro coin collectors the origin of a piece can be quite important :-) Some of the pieces have the country name written out, on others it is abbreviated (RF = République Française, RI = Repubblica Italiana), others have a "flag" (Austria), and if you see a coin with Greek characters, you can be pretty sure it is from Greece g.
