Second and eagerly-awaited update for the app Euro Coin Collection.

The 8 standard coins of Croatia, the new EMU member, have been added.
Croatia has chosen four designs for their national sides of the euro coins, all featuring the distinctive chequerboard pattern in the background.

The 2 Euro coin features a map of Croatia, while the 1 Euro coin shows the picture of a marten, which lent its name to the country’s former currency, the kuna.

The portrait of Nikola Tesla and the letters HR in the angular Glagolitic script are the designs of the other 6 coins.

The second commemorative of 2023 was also added, the German coin dedicated to the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.

Collectors using the iPhone version will also find the HD coin designs as an optional download for all the 477 commemoratives.

The next update will improve album customization and the collection file management.

Stay tuned on the Facebook page of the app to know more about them!

First update of 2023 for the Euro Coin Collection app.

5 new 2 Euro commemorative coins issued in 2022 have been added, thus completing the series of commemoratives issued last year.

Among them is the Maltese coin dedicated to the United Nations Security Council Resolution on peace and security for women, available only in precious FDC boxes and FDC coincards.

Also, 2023 was added as the year of issue for the standard coins, together with the first commemorative of 2023, the third French coin in the series dedicated to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

In this update, the ability to write notes for each different coin design has been added, a feature that allows for a new level of customization for your collection.

Finally, the iPhone version is now in universal format, which means it can run in fullscreen both on the iPhone and iPad.

The news for this year are certainly not over: the next update will introduce the new Euros of Croatia! 😀

Euro Coin Collection has been updated to version 4.0 for iPhone, 3.6 for iPad, 3.4 for Mac and 2.8 for Android.

The latest 7 2-Euro commemorative coins issued in 2022 by the Euro-area countries have been added.

Among them, the Finnish one dedicated to climate research with a stylized lichen as design. The San Marino one issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the death of the sculptor and painter Antonio Canova is also interesting.

Collectors using the iPhone version will also find a new feature: HD coins, high definition pictures of coin designs.
They actually have 5 times the definition and less compression than the regular ones, so that you can see every fine detail.
Organized in packages by country, they’re available as optional in-app download.
Country packages include the standard design of the 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1€ and 2€ coins.
2 Euro commemorative designs will be available probably later this year.
All packages are enabled for Apple family sharing, just like the app.

If you have the iPhone version, check out the promo about the HD coins on the Facebook page of the app! 😉

New and eagerly awaited update for the app Euro Coin Collection.

All 19 coins of the common issue dedicated to the Erasmus programme (EuRopean Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students), officially issued on 1 July 2022, have been added.

The design is a mix of two major elements of the programme: the original intellectual inspiration and the allegory of its influence over Europe.
The first one is symbolised by one of the most known depiction of Erasmus of Rotterdam, the second one by a beam of links going across the coin from a point to another, representing the numerous intellectual and human exchanges between the European students.

Also, 4 2 Euro commemorative coins issued for 2022 have been added.

Among them is the Estonian one dedicated to Ukraine, whose design shows a female figure protecting a bird in her hand together with an ear of corn.

More coins and new features in the next update! 😉

Among them, the Italian one issued on May 17 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of the magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, killed by the mafia, whose design is inspired by a famous photo taken by Tony Gentile.

Also interesting is the Latvian coin with a stylized tree symbolizing Financial Literacy.

Last but not least, the improved menus now allow to view all coin data when your device is in landscape mode.
This also works with the Mac version, if you resize the app window to a 16:9 aspect ratio or more.
