I am an amateur euro collector, with passion for information about the euro. Currently helping on any article that refers to the Eurozone, especially in numismatics. Personal motto:
"大きな栗の木の下で、 あなたと私、仲良く遊びましょう"
(Ookina kurino kino shitade, anatato watashi, nakayoku asobimashou)

May 28, 2007: I joined Wikipedia, I did some small corrections to Havana, a city where I spent a few years of my life. I was passive for a few months, I did not realize how fun editing in Wikipedia was.
December 17, 2007: I came back with my second edit, I added the second series information to Belgian euro coins. I have been quite active since then.
March 21, 2008: I reached 500 edits, when together with Kevin hipwell were designing the layout of Euro gold and silver commemorative coins. This article has been my inspiration since then, and I have been 90% of the time on articles related to it.
April 20, 2008: Received my first barn star, thanks to Kevin hipwell.
August 20, 2008: I reached 3000 edits, discussing a layout topic to add mintage quantities for the article Austrian euro coins with Kevin hipwell.
October 19, 2008: 4000 edits reached, this time as part of my constant efforts of removing unsourced material. The article in question was Marshall Plan.
After a numerous advices, I have decided to flat out the article Euro gold and silver commemorative coins
to the minimum details of the coins, with references to articles with more details of the coin issues of every country. So far this is the result:
