There is no such thing as a 22 cent coin.

Ok, have a look at the 2 euro on the right hand side, the text euro on the coin is wrong.

Re the coins game

The gold coin to the right of the 10 c coin at the top is smaller than the ten cent coin, even though the ten cent coin is the smallest gold coin in the set.
