Since 1 January 1999 the European Central Bank (ECB)
has had the exclusive right to approve the volume of
euro coins that the Member States that have adopted
the euro (hereinafter the participating Member States)
may issue.

Based on the estimates of demand for euro coins in
2004 that the participating Member States submitted to
the ECB, the ECB approved the total volume of euro
coins intended for circulation and euro collector coins

Until now in one participating Member State the
estimates underlying Decision ECB/2003/15 were insuf-
ficient due to higher than expected demand for euro
coins in 2004, as well as to unforeseen economic devel-
opments. As a result, this participating Member State
now has to obtain the ECB’s approval before issuing
additional euro coins in 2004.

On 1 June 2004 the Italian Ministry for Economic Affairs
and Finance asked the ECB to approve an increase of 200
million EUR in the volume of euro coins intended for
circulation that Italy may issue in 2004.
