2 cent euro coins are made of a steel core plated with copper. They have a diameter of 18.75 mm, a 1.67 mm thickness and a mass of 3.06 grams. They incorporate a distinctive groove running circumferentially around the edge of the coin; this groove can be felt easily by running the finger tip or a fingernail across the edge of the coin. All coins have a common reverse side and country-specific national sides.
