Hello! My name is Stefan Puscasu and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I collect coins and banknotes by type. You can find below the coins and banknotes that I have as doubles and are available for swapping. I also have coins and notes for sale; they're available only for Romanian buyers so are listed in the corresponding page in Romanian.

Use only one set of links below (either "by type" or "by date") depending on the way you collect coins and notes.

European coins (without Romania/Moldova) - 767 types, 43 countries - by type or by date;

I am able to answer your emails in Romanian, Italian, English and (somehow rusty) French. My email address: Stefan PUSCASU, me@stfp.net. If you want to swap with me also please read my trading rules.

In the lists above for each coin or banknote the following data is given:

Country or government of issue.
Krause number, exactly as it appears in the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" -or- Pick number, as it appears in "World Paper Money".
Face value. The decimal point is always present.
Year(s) and number of pieces.
Coin or Banknote state. Since I am not able to provide correct gradings using the official ANA grading scale or similar I've used my very own scale with 5 categories. Their meaning is explained below. To put it short, you most likely won't want a coin or banknote of states 1 or 2.

State	Coins	Banknotes
5	A very nice coin. Most of the original luster is present; coin is actually shining. Virtually unscratched.	Uncirculated
4	A coin that circulated little. Some original mint luster may still be present; most of the details are still crisp. This is the quality of "good" coins that you can find in the change in your pocket	A nice banknote
3	Coins in this category have been normally circulated and show signs of wear. Scratches may be present; some small details are maybe worn out. Most of the coins in your pocket change are of this quality.	A normally circulated banknote
2	A heavily circulated coin. Big parts of the detail is lost; stains of rust may be present. However even the small characters can be still read. The physical form of the coin is unaffected (no dents or holes)	A heavily circulated banknote. No parts of the note are missing but the quality is pretty bad
1	Poorest quality. Either the coin is nearly completely worn out and one has to mostly guess it's value/year or it has holes, punches or major dents on it.	Poorest quality; some parts may be missing and/or held together by adhesive tape

I've arranged the coins in three main groups and the banknotes separately. Inside each group, coins are arranged by ascending ISO country codes and, within each country, by ascending Krause number.

Happy browsing! Stefan.
