<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Euro, post: 1122867, member: 28879&quot;]Don&#039;t know that either, but it is used more and more to make a clear disctinction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It won&#039;t come with a code, I think. Looks odd (on 2 euro common commemoratives the country names are written out fully even by those countries that use codes), is entirely against Dutch tradition (they have always written out their country name) and it doesn&#039;t really solve the issue I guess. NL would still be The Netherlands. It would have to be &quot;NL minus BES&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Beatrix koningin der Nederlanden&quot; would be a perfect solution but equally impracticle. It would require a picture of Queen Beatrix and that on a coin that leaves only the &quot;pill&quot; of 1 side for the actual common commemorative design. That leaves hardly any space at all for the design. Moreover, the design would be valid for all other participating countries. The dutch would then have to decrease it in size or so so they can still squeeze a queen and a far too long text in there. They&#039;ll never do that. The coins of all participating countries need be identical as much as possible. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The fact the BES islands don&#039;t issue cash is irrelevant, I believe, as it would still be utterly misleading. With &quot;Nederland&quot; on it, the coin would clearly suggest that the particular piece is valid (and so can be actually used) within the Netherlands as a whole, which would be simply wrong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My guess remains &quot;Europees Nederland&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
