In 2006 the number of counterfeit euro coins removed from circulation was around 164,000. The number increased considerably from 2005 but is insignificant compared to the total number of 69 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. |
