<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1150722, member: 39&quot;]Yes, I like bimetallic (and trimetallic) coins, and that piece with Mont-St-Michel does indeed look good, also or even primarily because of its design. In this case, the central piece has the same composition as the outer ring, so we could argue about whether this is actually tri-met. Frizio&#039;s design does not only add a third &quot;area&quot; but also a third &quot;color&quot;, and I guess that would make it harder - provided one is not as dumb as the German government <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> - to counterfeit coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it also makes production more expensive; that is why I wrote such a look would be fine for a (hypothetical) €5 or £5 circulation coin, but not for any of the currently bi-met pieces. Don&#039;t think their structure will damage or destroy the pieces; but people with nickel allergies may not be fond of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
