Final coin in “Air Moves” polymer ring series released, features windsurfing:

The Federal Government of Germany had issued a 10 Euro Collector's coin titled "In the Air", minted with a colourless plastic ring in April 2019.

This coin marked the beginning of a three-part series titled "Luft Bewegt" (meaning "Air Moves") in which one coin will be released every year from 2019 to 2021.

The Coins in the Series:

“In the Air” — 2019 "Paragliding"

“On Land” — 2020 "Landsailing"

“On the Water” — 2021 "Windsurfing"

This Coin Series followed the runaway success/popularity of the 5 Euro Coin titled "Blue Planet" (2016) and the five coin Series titled "Climate Zones of the Earth" which continued from 2017 to 2021).

The 10 Euro Coin "In the Air" consists of two different copper-nickel alloys and a translucent plastic ring.

As with the earlier "tri-material" coins, this 10 Euro Polymer Coin will have three components - outer/external metallic ring, an inner metallic core and an embossable colourless polymer/plastic ring.

The colourless ring is partially translucent and is permeable to light. The ring has been inserted between the metal components and forms a permanent bond. 

Polymer ring is a serious Counterfeiting Security Device:

The polymer ring not only serves as a special effect feature but also acts as a serious counterfeiting security device that was "invented" by the State Mint of Baden-Wuerttemburg and the Bavarian Central Mint.

The two mints used the polymer ring in 2016 in the  5 Euro coin titled "Planet  Earth" which won the prestigious Coin of the Year (COTY) Award - 2018, bringing Germany back onto the numismatic landscape after decades of a conservative coin emission policy.

The present issue features "Windsurfing" (2021):

The Obverse and Reverse of the 10 Euro Coin placed against a background image of two windsurfers on the water. The inscriptions are - "AIR MOVES", "LUFT BEWEGT".

The German Ministry of Finance — Munze Deutschland have issued on 25.03.2021, the third and final coin in the series titled “Air Moves,” which has focussed on aerial speed "In The Air", "Over Land", and lastly — "On Water". 

This coin has been produced with a polymer ring as part of the design and highlights speed on the water with windsurfing. 

One of the most popular water sports of all, whether in exciting locations such as the Atlantic coast in Portugal, off the North Sea coast of Germany, or off the coast of California — in good wind conditions the sight of colourful sails and boards make for an unforgettable scene. 

The sport itself is not that old — developed by two Americans who registered a patent for windsurfing in 1968, and the dynamic trend sport has been part of the Olympic disciplines since 1984.

The bi-metallic coins consist of cupro-nickel centre discs with an outer blue-coloured niobium ring and with a clear polymer ring between the two components. 

The blue tint is achieved by a special patented procedure involving a fine layer of chemical coating on the niobium which oxidises resulting in the rich blue seen on the coins and representing the connection to the clear blue coastal waters associated with windsurfing.

The Reverse of the 10 Euro Coin. The primary design features three windsurfers in a stylised depiction, reminiscent of and inspired by the sport originally developed in California more than 50 years ago.

 The windsurfers are on their boards, sails billowing at full speed. As the waves pile up under the boards, this results in the best conditions for a fast ride on the water. 

On the upper-left periphery is the text "AUF DEM WASSER" (“On the water”) with the initials of the designer "DE" shown to the lower-right.

 While the rings in the "Climate Zone Coin Series" are of different colours, the ring in these 10 Euro coins will be transparent and translucent to depict the "air" topic of the Coin Series.

The Obverse of the 10 Euro Coin is the same for 2019, 2020 and 2021 Obverse faces. It features a German Eagle ("Bundesadler") in the upper half of the coin. Below it is the denomination of the coin "10 EURO" the country name "BUNDESREPUBLIK" (in German) on the upper periphery and "DEUTSCHLAND" (in German) on the lower periphery. 

The 12 stars of the European Union (EU) six in the upper half and six in the lower half of the coin, representing the countries which had initially joined the EU and the year of issue "2021" are also  depicted.

The coin is legal tender in the Federal Republic of Germany.

1766)  "Satellite Imagery" Aland: Posten Aland (Åland Post) has issued a stamp featuring the Suomi NPP Weather Satellite, named after Åland descendant Verner E. Suomi known as "the Father of Satellite Meteorology”: Date of Stamps issue: 25.03.2021: 

About Satellite Meteorology - Aland:

On 25.03.2021, Åland Post has issued a Postage Stamp featuring the Suomi NPP Weather Satellite, named after Åland descendant Verner E. Suomi. 

Also known as "the Father of Satellite Meteorology”, Suomi contributed to laying the foundations for today’s weather satellites, essential for providing weather forecasts. 

About Verner E. Suomi (1915–1995):

He was among the earliest to understand the importance of satellites for weather observations. His parents Johan Suomi, born in Kustavi in the archipelago of Åboland, and Anna Matilda Sundqvist from Pett- böle, Finström, emigrated from Åland to the USA in 1902. Verner grew up in Eveleth, Minnesota, as the second youngest of seven siblings.

Launched in 1959, the Explorer VII Satellite carried Suomi’s first instrument, a  plate radiometer that measured the Earth’s heat balance from space for the first time.

 It was discovered that clouds play an important role in the Earth’s energy budget and that the Earth absorbs more radiated solar energy than was previously recognized. Suomi’s most important invention is probably a camera that was added to the ATS-1 Satellite launched in 1966. 

Its geosynchronous orbit enabled scientists to observe the formation of weather systems without interruptions. 

Until then, all one had seen were interesting snapshots from space but, with Suomi’s ”Spin-Scan Cloud Camera”, scientists could monitor air motion, cloud height and rainfall among other phenomena.

Since 2011, the American weather satellite Suomi NPP on the stamp monitors the Earth’s cloud cover, oceans, ice sheets, vegetation, and the heat radiation from the Earth’s atmosphere. The Suomi NPP is a polar orbiting satellite and is one of several satellites providing data for weather forecasts in Finland.

Åland illustrator Peter Bergström has designed the stamp.

The Postage Stamp of the value of  Världen (€2.20) is titled "verner E. Suomi - Suomi NPP - 2021".

The First Day Cover (FDC) is titled "Satellitmeteorologi" and shows at left a Map of the World based on images taken through Satellite imagery.

At top right is affixed the postage Stamp of 2.20 Euro cancelled with a Special Handstamp/Postmark bearing an image of Suomi. The cancellation is of Mariehamn Post Office and is dated - "25.03.2021".

A Full Sheet of 30 Stamps and 10 Labels.

A Gutter Pair Set.

A Gutter in Philately (stamp collecting) is a space between printed stamps. Gutters may separate sheet of stamps in panes. They may, or may not, have some printing. The gutter between the stamps is often the same size as the postage stamp.

Some related philatelic terms are:

- Gutter pairs are two stamps separated by a gutter.

- Gutter block is a block of at least four stamps separated by a gutter.

- Gutter margin is a margin dividing a sheet of stamps into separate panes

A Maxi Card.

A Maxi Card has all three - the image/photo, Stamp and Cancellation Stamp on the same face/side.
