NBU: Commemorative coins of euro-2012 are very popular among football fans
Euro-2012 commemorative coins are very popular among both coin collectors and football fans, deputy head of the National Bank of Ukraine Vera Rychakovska told ForUm.

"We have issued rather presentable series of coins: two sets of five coins in silver and German silver. We've also issued a half-kilo golden coin with UEFA symbols, made in complicated technique," the official said.

According to Rychakovska, the golden coins are being issued in small parts of the total 500 pieces. "Now we've put in circulation a part of 130 pieces," she informed and added that golden coins are not very popular due to the high cost.

"Silver coins are better sellers. People buy coins to keep them as a remembrance of the great event," the official summed up.
