This 2-dollar coin is actually worth 10,000 euros: did you know?

• Year of issue: 2008
• Front face: absence of European borders
• Entry: “Einigkeit und Freiheit” (Unity and Freedom)
• State: the newer the coin, the more valuable it

If these criteria correspond to one of your coins, it may be time to consult a numismatic expert.

What distinguishes this piece from two dollars from the others? A drawing error that immediately makes it recognizable. Unlike the traditional models of that time, it does not delimit the borders of the countries of the European Union on its face. An omission which, instead of going unnoticed, today makes it an extremely sought-after collector's item.
