Why is the portugal 2 euro so hard to find?

I just got this one from a relative's change. I have waited 7 months for it (Most of my Portuguese coins i found in the Jan-Mar period) Also it was found in 🇧🇬

My first microstate coin

Got the coin in regular change! My first microstate eurocoin.

Also finally found a vending machine that gives back 2€ coins instead of smaller returns. Will hunt it now regularly :)

My second commemorative coin found in 🇧🇬

Got it as change from a corner store. As well as a little bonus, a coin from Malta my brother gave me. Never came across a Maltese one before.

New additions to my collection

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a few new additions that arrived in the mail today (coincidentally right on my birthday, which was a nice little bonus).
Got a couple of fresh UNC coins to fill some gaps, mostly from Luxembourg, Lithuania, Cyprus, and a few others. The luster on these looks so good in hand.

Can anyone help identify whether these are mint errors?

I found these two €2 coins (Luxembourg 2009 and Greece 2004 – Athens Olympics). I noticed that the stars around the edge don’t seem to be evenly spaced. Could this be a genuine mint error, or is it normal?
I’d really appreciate the opinion of experienced euro coin collectors. Thanks!

3 finds in a day

I work as a cashier in a bank, so I’m just a bit cheating 😅

If this isn't a sign to hunt machines, then I don't know what is

Both came from the same machine AND same pull

Vatican 50c is from 2023

Some 2EUR coins from my wallet

Some less common 2 EUR coins that I have set aside.

Is there anything noteworthy?

Edit: lots of Estonian coins due to location

10 cents error?

I just found this one. Is this some kind of error? If it is, what's it called?

I can take a better photo if needed.
