Imagine: you empty your wallet and fall into a two-euro coin that looks ordinary. But what would you say if this little currency was actually worth 10,000 dollars? This is not a legend: some rare pieces are traded at a price of gold among collectors. Find out how to recognize these hidden treasures and perhaps make a fortune with a simple forgotten piece.
What makes a two-dollar coin so valuable?
Not all 2 euro coins are equal, and some such as this one are reaching impressive amounts for three main reasons:

- A manufacturing defect: the pulling errors make it unique objects.
- Impeccable state of preservation: pieces without scratches and wear more expensive.
The most striking example? A German coin from 2008, which could be in your pocket and worth up to 10,000 dollars.
