EURO DESIGNS

This blog is meant to allow us to take a sideways glance at the news, sometimes offering serious comment, sometimes less so-serious

However, sometimes, the humour is just too easy:

10 years of the euro – commemorative coin design to be chosen by the public

 All citizens and residents of the 17 euro-area Member States will be able to vote on the design of a new 2-euro coin via the internet. The new euro coin will be issued by all euro-area Member States at the beginning of 2012 to mark the first 10 years since euro banknotes and coins were introduced and the euro became part of people's daily life. The public will be able to vote between five designs preselected by a professional jury from a competition open to citizens of euro-area countries.

So I wonder what the Greeks, Irish and Portugese would vote for?
