All countries in the Eurozone get the same coins and banknotes (the banknotes are exactly identical for everyone), the coins are identical in size and colour, and have an identical side, but the other side of the coins is country dependent. Still, the coins of one Euro country are valid in all Euro countries. I have the coins in front of me (the Dutch government offered an exemplary of each coin - a real one, that you can actually use - to every person living in the Netherlands for more then one year and being 6 or older. I did't get this Europakket - since I've been here for only 4 months - but my friend has). There are coins of 1, 2 and 5 Eurocents (copper), 10, 20 and 50 Eurocents (gold), 1 Euro (silver with a gold ring around) and two Euros (gold with a silver ring around). As for the banknotes (which won't be in circulation before the 1st of January), they are IIRC of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Euros.
