Netherlands 10 euro cent 2012

Why is this coin token?

Because it's an official currency coin which has been altered with colour.

But the same is with Canada coins accept they are not tokens.

The Dutch mint (KNM) states that legal tender is used, so that it officially is. But, it does not guarantee that it will be accepted at all stores. Does that make it a token? At our website we sorted it as a token, but Numista would have to decide for it self.

I don't think I'd consider it a token.  It is after all still a 10 Euro Cent coin.  If it wasn't done by the mint, then I would simply make a note on the actual coin page that they exist.

I agree.

In the Netherlands we have several type of comm. coins, the 5 euro's which can be used to pay with, although not all stores will accept it, the same with this coin. It can be used as payment, so it has to be under our countries coins, untill recently it was, I'm sure of that, I will change it back.  

PS: it's always nice when someone changes things without notifying the referee.

OK. Thank You very much for changing that.

Hello all,

Circulaire 2010/191/EU

7. Member States should not encourage mutilation of euro banknotes
or coins for artistic purposes but should tolerate it. Such mutilated
banknotes or coins should be considered as unfit for circulation.

10.Member States should take all measures deemed appropriate
to prevent euro collector coins from being used as means of payment
(for example special packaging, clear communication, use of precious
metal, sale prices above face value).

I think this pretty much clears it all.

OK. But it is a coin but just non-circulating issue.

Yes, it's a non-circ. comm. coin

Looks that now it's at correct place

Hi all,

I just wrote a mail to Royal Dutch Mint about the
status of these coins.
I`ll let you know.

well done  bronckhurstcoins.

My opinion is that it should definately be in coins section. All the commemoratives with colourful stuff on them are there and its not like you can use them in circulation..like ever.

It has a km number is the most used reason for putting it in the coins section, but also the others are good reasons.

Hi all,

Today I got the answer from Royal Dutch Mint   :

Een gekleurde Herdenkingsmunt die wordt uigegeven door de Koninklijke Nederlandse munt is een wettig betaal middel, u kunt hier dus mee betalen in winkels echter zit hier geen acceptatieplicht aan.

Translation:
A coloured commemmorative issued by RDM is legal tender, you can use it as payment in stores, however
stores are not obligated to accept these coins.

Therefore they should be in coins, as non-circulating commemmorative coins.

Excellent work!

Hi all,

The last sentence of my former post is my opinion !!

I think these coins are NCCC`s

That is not from RDM.

It has a normal KM and can be used as payment, that's why I changed it from tokens to coins a while back. i never knew you changed it from coin to token before me

@ Hippaforalkus:

I did not change anything.
I`m not into eurocoins  
Don`t know when you changed it (back), but I
became a member just recently.

You haven't changed it I know, it was changed somewhere in September, I guess. I see I wrote you, but it should be "who", sorry for the mix-up.

This year a new coloured 10 cent will appear.
For the world championship in Brasil.
