Judgement Day

I would say your flogging a dead horse there as no other coin collector is going to put you wise on how to make a killing. I always collect what I like rather than what I think may be valuable. If I'm looking to make money my purchases are based on information learnt the hard way rather than other people giving me pointers.

You need to learn every single coin & note's value in various conditions for yourself. No offense but the fact that you are asking about millennium coins and even considering dealing with them, would indicate you have no knowledge of values and therefor more likely to get stung than find that gem. Be careful out there

Don't know much about notes, so someone else might fill you in there. The coin set depends which one you have, if it's the official one below it's worth around 70 Euro, if they were put together by someone else in those perspex cases, then around 10 to 15 Euro is what they fetch retail.
