Additional information

Issued by Uganda in 1999 as part of a wave of novelty legal tender produced primarily for the collector market, this piece incorporates an actual euro-denomination coin bonded to its surface — a marketing device that let issuers from outside the eurozone capitalize on pre-launch euro fever. The euro did not enter circulation until January 2002, making 1999 a peak year for this kind of speculative souvenir coinage.
