Pokémon coins

Pokémon coins (Dutch: Pokémon munten) were coins given away by Dutch supermarket chain Super de Boer.[1][2] There were two series of 48 heavy metal coins with on top a picture of a Pokémon. Each coin weighs 14 grams and a complete album of one series weighs 950 grams. The pictures are numbered in the folder but there are no numbers on the coins. The coins of both series can not be distinguished from each other besides the Pokémon on the coins.

This article is about the collectibles released in the Netherlands. For the coins used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, see Coin (TCG). For other uses, see Coin.
