Yes, any country in the Eurozone will accept euro coins from any other country. The euro is a single currency of 15 countries in the EU and is under the control of a single independent origination, the European Central Bank. All banknotes are the same, however each country can mint its own coins (under control of the ECB). The coins are all of a standard weight, shape, and style, and have a shared standard front design. The back of the coins are dependent on the country of issue. The coins are acceptable anywhere in the Eurozone. A number of European microstates are also permitted to mint a small number of their own coins. Monaco and the Vatican City are examples of this. Due to their limited numbers these coins are usually highly sought after by collectors and can often be worth more than their face value. Allowing each country to mint coins with a national side helps to spread the culture of all countries in the Eurozone. Seeing an interesting and unusual design on a coin will often encourage people to learn more about their neighbors.
