<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1122827, member: 39&quot;]Agreed, <i>Europees Nederland</i> could be a solution. I have seen the term in newspapers, but I don&#039;t know whether it is already &quot;official enough&quot; to be used on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course there are more options. The coin could simply have a country code, like what we have on Belgian or Finnish circulation coins, thus &quot;NL&quot;. Would look odd, though, if all countries except the Netherlands used their names and not codes ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the name and title of the queen could be used, just without her portrait. So the Dutch coin could have whatever the common design will be, plus &quot;Beatrix Koningin der Nederlanden&quot;. (Assuming she is still queen then.) May be a little long, but &quot;Bundesrepublik Deutschland&quot; is not that much shorter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, from a formal point of view we could argue that the only coins actually issued by the Netherlands are euro and cent coins. Yes, the &quot;BES Islands&quot; are part of the country, and use the US dollar - but they do not issue any USD cash. In that regard &quot;Nederland&quot; would be correct too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, they have a few more months to come up with a definite solution. Also, I hope the design will be better than the euro/stickman we had in 2009. If it turns out to be bad, I may well, just like you, say that I need only one piece. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
