SafekipediaSan Marino euro coins
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
San Marino uses euro coins that look different from most others. Each coin has its own special design, and all of them say “San Marino” along with the year they were made and the twelve stars of Europe. These coins are made by a special factory called the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, which is located in Rome, Italy.
Even though San Marino uses the euro as its money, it is not part of the eurozone or the European Union. This means San Marino works closely with these groups but is not a full member. Still, people in San Marino can use euro coins just like people in countries that are members of the eurozone.

San Marino makes special coins from gold and silver for collectors. These coins are different from the regular coins used every day and are made to celebrate special events or important moments. They are made by a special place in Rome, Italy.
Scudo
San Marino has an agreement with Italy and the European Union that lets the country make gold coins called scudi. However, these special gold coins cannot be used as regular money in the European Union.
