euro-muenzen-slowenien.jpg
An ad for Slovenian euros, from a German newspaper.

You’ve gotta love the genius of selling people coins worth €3.88 for €5. (Plus shipping and handling) I wish I’d thought of it, and I’m surprised the Bank of Slovenia didn’t get in on this racket.

The ad explains that the coins will be hard to get because “little Slovenia” won’t mint many eurocents, which will make them sehr selten (very rare). In this case, “very rare” means 155 million coins. Not exactly a collector’s item, I would think. But what do I know? I was too stupid to think of this idea myself.

By the way, if anyone wants some ultra-rare, soon-to-be-withdrawn Slovenian tolar coins, I’ll gladly send you some for just €9.99 — but act now while they’re still around!
