Lithuanianeurocoins share a similar national side for all eight coins.
The difference between the coins are that one and two eurocoins have vertical lines on the outer circle, the fifty, twenty and ten cent coins have horizontal lines on the outer circle, and the five, two and one cent coins, have no lines on the outer circle.
Lithuania is expected to issue its eurocoins from 2009 on.
The notes and coins for the old currencies, however, continued to be used as legal tender[?] until new notes and coins were introduced on January 1, 2002 and the changeover period ended on February 28, 2002.
All eurocoins have a common side showing the worth and a national side showing an image particular to the country it was issued in.
The euro was established by the provisions in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European Union relating to establishing an economic and monetary union.
