Decision (EU) 2026/1190 amending Decision (EU) 2025/2419 on the approval of the volume of coin issuance in 2026
The European Central Bank amends its 2025 decision to increase the approved 2026 euro coin issuance volumes for Bulgaria and Belgium following ad hoc requests. Bulgaria’s circulation coin allocation rises by EUR 174.66 million to EUR 338.30 million to accommodate ongoing lev-to-euro currency changeover and seasonal demand, while Belgium’s collector coin limit increases by EUR 10 million to EUR 10.3 million to fund two newly planned bullion coins. Consequently, the original issuance table is updated to reflect these national adjustments and a revised total annual volume of EUR 2,585.90 million.
