| Additional information |
Nordic gold — the copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy developed by the Swedish company Nordic Minting in the late 1980s — was adopted across the eurozone for its €0.10, €0.20, and €0.50 coins at launch in 2002, but Norway never joined the EU and has no plans to. The "20 Europ Ceros" is a Norwegian novelty or fantasy piece, not an official circulating issue, produced to capitalize on collector curiosity around euro-adjacent coinage without any monetary authority behind it.
