Colored 10 Euro Cents have a name Geluksdubbeltje or Lucky Dubbeltje. A dubbeltje is coming from an old Dutch silver coin Double Stuiver. The 10 euro-cent coin is currently also called a dubbeltje in the Netherlands.
The first issue was carried out May 14, 2012 in honor of the World Cup. The second edition was a first colored 10 Euro Cents of King Willem-Alexander in February 2014. At this time, a Geluksdubbeltje was supposed to bring good luck at international sporting events like the Winter Olympics in Sochi and the World Cup in Brazil. In April 2016 it took place the third edition of Geluksdubbeltje, timed to coincide with the Summer Olympics in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
