This below is NOT an error
The centre piece has
been inserted the
wrong way around.

Stephen said that "Unfortunately there are markings on the coin which
could suggest that the
coin has been tampered with i.e. the error is deliberate"
This is
what says JK:
"This is in fact not an error but something done by someone after the
coin left the mint. The coin designs are struck all at once -
therefore, it is not possible for the Mint to put the center in
backwards with a design on it. If a design does not
match in this manner, it was done after the coin was struck."
Thank you for your contribute!
This is a 5 euro cent with clip. Those
images are provided by Sebastian R. The error is very interesting,
thank you Sebastian.
2 Euro 2002 with clip AND off center,
due to particular kind of error seems that the clip was made before the
strruck.
This nice image is provided by Sebastian R.
