There was no standard approach. Some countries, especially those needing huge numbers of the new coins, opted to being minting them as soon as plans for conversion became official.
Also each country had a different policy on dating the coins. Some opted to use the 2002 date on all coins minted up till that year because they wouldn't go into circulation till then. Other countries whose coins pictured a living monarch chose to use the actual minting date. It would have been very confusing to have their portrait on coins dated 2002 if they had died or stepped down between 1999 and 2001.

Are coins minted with future years on them?
Coins are occasionally minted with a date that's different from the calendar year in which they were made. Some examples:In 1999, the US Mint started striking 2000-dated $1 coins so that there would be a large supply on hand for release at the start of the next year.From 1999 to 2001 some states in the EU minted euro coins dated 2002, again so there would be enough on hand when the euro became the official European currency. (Interestingly, the date process was optional and some states minted coins with the calendar years on them.)During the changeover from silver to copper-nickel coins the US continued to mint 1964-dated silver coins well into 1965 while simultaneously making 1965-dated clad coins. To avoid an artificial shortage of 1965 coins, that date was maintained through part of 1966.During the Mint's early years coin dies were used until they wore out so it was not unusual for coins with a prior year's date to be minted for the first couple of months each year.

You have just found a euro and there is an owl on the back and it says eypo Where is it from?
All euro-denominated coins are issued by the European Central Bank. They are actually minted in various national mints. The Greek coin you describe was probably minted in Finland.The euro coins have a common design on the reverse, and a country-specific design on the obverse. The 1-euro coin with the owl actually shows a 2500 year old Greek coin which had the owl design on it. eypo (or close) is the word for euro in the Greek alphabet (y = upsilon or u, p = rho or r).All of the euro coins are valid in any other euro country. Ones from the less populous countries like Malta and San Marino are hard to get and much sought after.
