We don't have 1 & 2 cent coins though. As far as prices go people would ask for, say, 2euro 50. No need to say cent. If it was less than a euro then they'd ask for 25cent. We know they mean eurocents. Luxembourg - 2 euros 2012 (10 years of euro banknotes and coins) EUR 4.40. Netherlands - 1 euro 2006 (Queen Beatrix in profile) EUR 2.65.

The word ‘Europe’ is inscripted inside the globe pictured on the copper plated steel coin. Do you have a 1 cent Euro coin? Here's how to exchange it for cash.
Vatican City
There are five series of Vatican City coins in circulation. All are valid.
1 Euro Cent In Rupees
The first series, showing Pope John Paul II, was issued between 2002 and 2005.
The second series, issued between June 2005 and March 2006, shows the coat of arms of the Cardinal Chamberlain, the acting head of state of the Vatican City, superimposed on the emblem of the Apostolic Chamber in the centre of the coin. The upper part of this design is surrounded by the semicircular words 'SEDE VACANTE' and the year of issue in Roman numerals, i.e. 'MMV'. The designer's name, 'D. LONGO', appears on the lower left-hand edge of the central design, while the respective engraver's initials appear on the lower right-hand edge, namely 'MAC inc' (on the 1 and 20 cent coins), 'LDS inc' (on the 2 and 50 cent coins), 'ELF inc' (on the 5 cent and €1 coins) and 'MCC inc' (on the 10 cent and €2 coins).
