Located in Brussels next to the Commission's headquarters in the Berlaymont building, the exhibition displays all regular and commemorative euro coins issued by euro area Member States since the first issuance of euro coins in 2002, together with all euro coins issued by third countries that have signed Monetary Agreements with the EU (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican City).
