Finland €5 provincial coins

I am new here and this is my first post to the Numista forum, so I want to say hello and Keep Calm and Collecting On to everyone!

I have a special interest in state regional coins (like US state quarters, German Bundesland euros, etc). Recently I've noticed that Mint of Finland has released a 9 coin series on the historical provinces of Finland, which look like really cool coins:

For European collectors these coins are currently offered at face value. However, the Mint website bars out US buyers and its designated North Am distributor Royal Scandinavian Mint charges a hefty premium for these.

I wonder if anybody lives in Europe/Finland who has this series for sale or swap. I am willing to pay fair price or swap with coins like the silver eagles.

Best to all!

I don't have the set but may I say, "Welcome."

I hope you enjoy the website and keep calm and collecting on...yourself!

When I get back from Zante I would be willing to allow you to order them to me, and me to just forward them to you if it may be cheaper ?

Thank you for the list! I was unaware of the Australian 50Cs before!

On top of your list I can think of Poland 2 Zt series as well. I am sure there are still other country series that I haven't heard of...
