Nachdem ich dem MTM heute Morgen meine Adressänderung per Mail mitgeteilt habe, bekam ich folgende ernüchternde Antwort:
Dear Collector,
The Stamp and Coin Museum acknowledges receipt of your inquiry for a set of Euro coins issued by the Principality of Monaco.
Please take notice that the circulation coins are officially distributed by the State Treasury mainly to the banks established in the Principality, and as cash change for commercial centers, but not available for individuals collectors or for dealers.
The mintage-quota of the Principality of Monaco is linked to the quantity minted by France. The high interest for the European coinage has favored a speculation due to a demand exceeding by far what can be supplied ; we can only deplore this situation.
The « Brilliant uncirculated » issues of 2001 and 2002 and the proof set of 2004, partly distributed by the Museum, have been quickly sold out. No mint set will be issued in 2005.
The numismatic limited issues such as gold and silver Euro coinage are not distributed by the Museum. You are invited to contact the numismatic professionals established in Monaco directly (ref.*). The Stamp and Coin Museum has however taken note of your inquiry, and may inform you, within the limits of its possibility, of any new product available in the future by correspondence through the Museum, as long as we received your complete address.
Thanking you for your interest in the philatelic and numismatic issues of the Principality,
Yours sincerely
