What year were Monaco Euro coins first issued? Were all eight coins issued in that first issuance?

Question

A 3-part question. Monaco is one of 3 "non-traditional" EU countries that issues its own set of Euro coins (San Marino and the Vatican are the other two). A) In what year were the Monaco coins released to the public (was it 2002, like the rest of the participating EU countries, or later)? B) What year is printed on those Monaco coins? (Some central banks minted coins that were held in vaults prior to their 2002 official release, and placed the year of minting on those coins - like 1999, 2000 or 2001 - rather than the year of release.) C) Were all 8 Monaco Euro coins (1-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 50-cent, and 1- and 2-euro) minted and released to the public when the coins first began to circulate, or were some coins not minted at all for the first release year (specifically the 1-, 2-, and 5-cent coins)? I have been doing lots of research on this to no avail. Any coin collectors out their who can shed light on this and/or provide a reference link on the web? Thanks.

hi, the monaco coins were issued in plastic wraps worth 15 euros for sale at 100 French Fracs at post offices and banks a few months months before the actual euro came out. Many countries had similar practices to get people used to the coins.. The sets were composed of an assortment of coins from 1 cent to 2 euros totalling exactly 15 euros. The 1 and 2 euro coins are still beig minted and are in circulation, however, the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins were only available in the plastic sets. Meaning only a few of them (from opened packs) were used, before people realized their rarity and started holdig on to them. The only way to fid the cent coins is to buy them in a umismat store. The original 15 euro sets are ow worth a couple thousand euros. hope this helps.
