Euro starter kits are packs of euro coins of all the eight denominations sealed in a plastic sachet. The kits' purpose was primarily to familiarise citizens of a nation joining the eurozone with their new currency. A further objective is to provide coins for retailers' cash registers well in advance of their respective €-Day. Usually, these kits are available from local banks some weeks before euro changeover.
Mainly there are two types of starter packs: business starter kits and those for the general public. The difference lies in the number of coins per pack. Business kits are intended for retailers. Therefore, they contain approximately 100 euro or more in coins, usually packed in rolls, whereas mini-starter kits are intended for the general public and usually have a small number of coins.[1][2][3]
