Anyone found any 2026 coins in circulation yet?

Hello all,

Since no one has started a 2026 thread, I am going to start for this year.

This follows up from previous topics:
 

2012

2013

2014

2015

2016

2017

2018

2019

2020

2021

2022

2023

2024

2025

Usual rules apply, that is, coins dated 2026 or that calendar's equivalent count as long as they are not from coin sets or bank rolls/bags.

I will be updating the list as the year progresses.

Happy hunting!

CURRENT LIST AS OF 2026-01-26

BULGARIA:

1 cent: Snewski (2026-01-26)

5 cents: Snewski (2026-01-26)

First catch of 2026 it seems. A 1 & 5 cent from Bulgaria, which interestingly enough still have the words from the old currency stotinka/stotinki on them.

They follow the same philosophy as the Greek Euro cents which have the word lepta on the back .Using the old word instead of the foreign cent .  Also since stotinka is basically cent tranaslated in to Bulgarian  to begin with - sto means one hundred so a stotinka is literally a onehudredth ,the 2 stotinki is a  two hudredth , 5 stotinki is a 5 hundredth , and so on .

Well done on being the first of 2026! Post updated.

I don't know if you can call this cheating or not , but  since I live in Bulgaria, and we are joining the Euro, I have been getting brand new shiny 2026 Bulgarian Euro coins in my change all month now .It's rare I get a euro that 's not from BG , since it is so early that  the foreign euro coins have not yet mixed in to our  change that much .I've had  all denominations pass through my hands already (I also have spent most of them already too)  .There are just so many shiny coins out there right now , it's surreal !  Still , to prove that I have indeed come across the new coins ,  here is a pic of set of BG euros , all of which i got from circulation 

Germany 2 euro, from the train tickets vending machine on the way to the airport last Friday, after visiting the 2026 World Money Fair in Berlin.

France and Croatia 1 cents that I found in my pocket when I got home from the Berlin WMF

I also found this one a few days ago, way sooner than I expected. Still looking for the Bundesland II 2026.

That is one cool looking design ! Although I myself would have put some of the lettering elsewhere - the 1776 -2026  and Liberty would have been  better off  on both sides of the people  and under the 25c  respectively , since their current positions make them either weird looking( half in the bust , half not )  or a bit illegible( hidden in the waves )  .

Found one from Philadelphia today, too.

You probably need to update the coin list; it hasn’t been updated in a while.

Should never let new members start this up … the OP has not been online for at least a month, possibly not since the last edit on Jabuary 26th

@e26 please continue updating your post please

The moderators will fill in with this and update the first post, I expect.

Poland 20 groszy 2026.

I got this shiny new coin, still molten, at the filling station near Słubice a few km into Poland on the A2 Berlin to Poznań motorway :)

Molten?

Mint-fresh!

Already claimed by now I know but thought appropriate for the subject and all of us numismatists here that collect Euros. A Bulgarian 1 and 2 Euro coin found 1 day between each other in a small town on the Rhine in Germany from 2 businesses 2 minutes away from each other. 2 Euro coin from a cigarette kiosk and 1 Euro from a Turkish kebab shop. I guess if you want to find Bulgarian euro coins outside of Bulgaria, engage in balkan activities 😎. Finding these on my trip was the highlight for my hobby. I couldn't believe I found them so far west from Bulgaria so quickly into the year.

I must look out for an example - I have been keeping a coin of each denomination of every year.

Found 8 coins of 50 Bani 2026 from vendingmachines at Otopeni Airport Bucharest on 18th of april 2026.

Poland is filling out nicely. Here is a 2 Grosze 2026 I got in change from a supermarket today.

Spain 10 euro cents from a minimarket in the magical town of Puebla de Don Fadrique in Granada province of Spain while traveling the “Magical towns of Spain” routes.

N#50270

Australian 2026 $1 Coin with Six Kangaroos. Received in change at Aldi supermarket in Waterloo a suburb in Sydney.

The $1 coin normally has five Kangaroos but in 2026 only, the circulation $1 coin is issued with an extra Roo.

This is to do with 60 Years of Decimal Currency from 1966 to 2026. A Kangaroo for each of the six decades.

My father found a Bulgaria 20 cent in Malta during his trip. Best find ever. And even better coming from my father looking out for any different euro coins he's never seen. These coins have travelled fast.

Not sure if this counts, but I did a circulated coin roll hunt and found the Philly mint of the Mayflower Compact quarter:
