Obligatory, I do not live in the EU. However, based on watching some euro coin roll hunting channels, I see that Dutch coin roll hunters usually get coins from Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France.
Quote: "legowwwww"ive bin thinking of getting some euro coin rolls from my cousins in Germany in denominations of 1,2,5,10 cent rolls and a few 1 and 2 euro coins
what is the mix of nations from euro coin rolls, does location of rolls matter ?
I know the rare nations to get are the micro nations but can you get nations like Latvia, lituanea and Finland ?
I’ve found 2 Latvians so far, about 5 Finnish, and even a 2 euro from Monaco. Also about 3 from Slovenia, 1 from Estonia and 1 from Luxembourg. All in a Sample size of about €75 (I only counted the €1 and €2 coins, so I’m just guessing with most of it). The vast majority was Italian (as expected) with lots of Spanish, French, Belgian, German and Austrian. Some Portuguese, Irish and Dutch. Some scattered Greek as well. I don’t remember any Lithuanian. Generally coins from the Baltic are uncommon in Southern Europe, but not rare per se.
This should be dependent on location.
I never have inspected any local rolls (I don't even know whether circulated coins are distributed in rolls here), but I get many coins from circulation, and of course coins of my country (Lithuania) dominate.
Never bought rolls, but based on my trip to Europe and most of the Eurocoins I buy in off my sellers. These countries are the most common.

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

I can also rate countries by approximate frequency (as found in my change):
Lithuania.
Germany, France, Ireland*, Italy, Latvia, Spain.
Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands.
Greece, Portugal, Slovakia.
Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta.
Slovenia (I don't have full set yet, although I use coins fairly frequently, and euro was introduced in 2015 here).
Andora and other micronations (nearly impossible).
* Note about Ireland: in last two years or so our country was flooded by Irish 1 and 2 cent coins, and they became as common as Lithuanian ones, but other denominations are much rarer.

What is the most common year(s) for Irish 1 Euro-Cent & 2 Euro-Cents that you have found in change?

I didn't tabulate the exact statistics (now I hoard them without counting), but I can say for sure that the years end abruptly with 2013. That is, 1 and 2 Irish cents minted in 2013 and before are common in Lithuania, but later dates are scarce. And these coins frequently have a lot of lustre, so it appears that they enter circulation in UNC state.
