New update for the app Euro Coin Collection.

The latest 8 2-Euro commemorative coins issued in 2017 by the Euro-area countries have been added.

Among them the coin issued by Monaco for the 200th anniversary of the Prince’s Company of Carabiniers, available since november 13 only in a precious proof collector set.

Only the dutch emission should be missing in order to complete the 2017 series.

Also, this version corrects some sentences in French and adds an option to distinguish the variants of the commemorative coins issued by Malta in 2016 and 2017.

Thanks again to all collectors who regularly report mistakes or suggest new ideas for the app! 🙂

Euro Coin Collection has been updated again, for iOS, Mac and Android.

The new album ’99-2017 allows to view all standard and commemorative coins issued by a single country.

The coins are listed by year of issue and this makes easier to keep track of the changes in the design of standard coins, such as the new design introduced in March 2017 by San Marino and the Vatican, added in this version.

Also, 14 new 2-Euro commemorative coins of the 2017 have been added, already issued or announced, included the two Italian coins dedicated to Titus Livius and the St Mark’s Basilica.

With this update, the total of 2-Euro commemorative coins reached the number of 287.

See you to the next update!

The first update of 2017 for Euro Coin Collection adds both “old” and “new” coins.

For “old” I mean the last 4 commemoratives of 2016: two from Andorra and two from Greece, the latter issued on December 21.

For 2017 at least 30 2-Euro commemorative coins will be issued.

In this update there are the first 10 announced by as many Euro-area countries, among them the german one with the Porta Nigra in Trier, twelfth of the Bundesländer series which will be issued in early February.

See you to the next update to discover the design of the other commemoratives of this year, as well as to know more about new features in the works for the suite of apps dedicated to collectors. 😉

Euro Coin Collection has been updated, both for iOS and Mac, as well as for Android.

15 new 2-Euro commemorative coins of the 2016 have been added, already issued or announced.

Among the new coins, two countries, Italy and San Marino, celebrate the 550th anniversary of the death of Donatello.

Maltese is the curious coin dedicated to love, the first of the “Children and solidarity” series.

Besides new coins, a lot of work was done on the English texts, thanks to Robert Wimberley, a collector from Washington who uses the app on his Mac.

Robert corrected several formal errors and optimized the descriptions of the coins in order to make them more consistent.

Many details and corrections, extended where appropriate to the other six languages of the application, which improve text readability.

Thanks to Robert and to all the collectors who regularly send me their comments and suggestions.

The app gets better mainly thanks to your support! 🙂

Euro Coin Collection is now available also for devices with Android operating system.

Already available for Apple’s iOS and OS X platforms, the Android version supports smartphone and tablets equipped with Google’s operating system, starting from version 4.0 to the latest 6.0.

Considered (by the users 😉 ) among the most comprehensive and visually appealing apps about Euro coins, the Android version retains all the features that set it apart: interactive album, detailed images and parameters of both standard coins and 2 Euro commemoratives, information texts and translation in seven languages.

The first 13 2-Euro commemorative coins of the 2016, already issued or announced, are listed, including those of Belgium and Portugal dedicated to the incoming Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Did you ever ask yourself what’s the meaning of a 2 Euro coin design?

There’s an app for that!

And since 2011 it helps collectors keeping track of their collection.

The latest update of Euro Coin Collection, in versions for iPhone, iPad and Mac, includes all the 2 Euro commemorative coins of 2014, Lithuania has been added as the 23th Euro-area country, and the new design of the Spanish 1 and 2 Euro coins issued for King Felipe VI’s succession.

Some corrections and improvements requested by collectors complete this release.

But the news don’t stop here: as already announced on the Facebook page of the app, the Android version is in the works, for all the smartphones and tablets using Google’s mobile operative system.

And we’re already collecting data and graphics for the first 2 Euro commemorative coins issued in 2015; this year there will be 27 of them, in addition to the common emission dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the European flag.

There’s a lot of irons (or coins..) in the fire! 😉

Euro Coin Collection, the suite of apps dedicated to collectors for Mac, iPad and iPhone, has been updated!

20 new 2-Euro commemorative coins of the 2014 have been added, already issued or announced.

This year, important historical events are featured, such as the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landing, the 100th since the beginning of World War I and the 25th of the fall of the Berlin wall.
Renaissance art is well represented thanks to the 500th anniversary of the death of Bramante.

Other than the eagerly awaited 2014 commemoratives, two new countries adopted the Euro this year: Andorra and Latvia. Latvia has already planned to issue its first 2-Euro commemorative coin dedicated to Riga, european capital of culture 2014.

Also, three countries modified the design of the national side of their standard coins: Belgium, Netherlands and Vatican. Probably even Spain will follow, given the recent abdication of King Juan Carlos.

Since this update, the graphics of the apps change.
It isn’t just a matter of aesthetic tastes: less saturated colors, transparencies and a flat-style design of the user interface help to better concentrate on what matters the most, the contents.

A little usability note: now the mini-albums dedicated to greek and german mint marks can be opened with a single tap on the handle, without having to drag it anymore.

New contents, new graphics and all the marketing materials updated accordingly: descriptions, screenshots, press release and the Facebook page.

A lot of work that required time, so thanks to collectors for their patience and to anyone willing to share the news! 🙂
