I had no idea each country got to have their own euro design. That’s cool as hell.
These are even regional and eventbased graphics in the back.
US did this with state quarters in late 90s. These customized euros arrived early 2000s. Perhaps inspired? I’m not sure.
Yeah, but the state quarters weren’t produced in or otherwise exclusively released in those states
I think it was more like We had national currencies so let’s at least keep national backsides of coins.
The paper money is the same btw

Is a much more interesting but wholly unrelated sentence.

Italy follows with their Roman euro:

MinnesotaGoddamSome of them, yeah. This latest batch of plastic surgeons out in florida seems to have been studying sad clowns painted on velvet during art school or something
Mournful tits everywhere!
I mean, it’s a great design! So why do double work?
SharkAttakNow, I know it was a LONG time ago, but even a drunk toddler could do a rounder coin than... that.
Child labor laws were a little different then. It may have indeed been made by a drunk toddler.
if i was a toddler and had to work i’d be drunk too
Athenian. not the whole of Greece.
The Delian league still want their shit back.
I’ve always wanted a few random coins (but authentic) from way back. I dunno why but thought it’d be best to have a bit of history I guess. Really just always searched Greek and Roman assume they have the most out there available now.
Also love a fun lightsaber on the mantle I’m not picky really, though the coins seem more interesting overall.
addieWell, the good news is that they made a lot of coinage. Random bronze or silver coins, especially if they’re not in the best of condition and with dubious provenance, are kind of cheap. The museum-grade stuff, that collectors really want to have, is quite fiercely bid over when it comes to market. And they never made a lot of gold coins - the value was impractical compared to the cost of goods and labour - so that shit’s expensive, yo. But if you’re wanting a few denarius to call your own, then ebay’s full of them.
nkat2112That poor owl is constipated.
Tbf, last I checked, Greece was still suffering under the draconian austerity policies that the IMF and Germany attached to the bailout a few years ago.
It wouldn’t surprise me that much if “paying artists” has become categorically illegal for the Greek government tbh…
They don’t have some narcissistic leader who insists on putting his dumb mug on the money?
