In 2007 the total number of counterfeit euro coins removed from circulation was 211 100. The number increased significantly from 2006 but is still marginal compared to the total number of 75 billion genuine euro coins in circulation. The competent authorities intensified and better co-ordinated their efforts in fighting counterfeiting while, at the same time, law enforcement continued successful action.
