Ten euro cent coin

Dimensions: 19.75mm diameter

Made out of: Copper alloy

Introduced: January 1st, 2002

The 10 euro cents coin is the first to use the copper alloy known as Nordic Gold. It has scalloped edges so can be identified by touch alone.

The coin shown is the latest design, which depicts Europe as a continent as opposed to separate nations. Coins with the older design still remain legal tender.
