<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 677546, member: 39&quot;]Indeed. I have that one too. Great piece. But who knows, if all Irish coins had used and still used Mestrovic&#039;s harp, people might want a different design now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>One problem for the designers of euro and cent circulation coins is of course that one side is always &quot;taken&quot;. The Irish pre-euro coins would usually have the harp on one side, and some interesting or even intriguing design on the other side. Maybe it would have been possible, on the euro pieces, to combine some main design (different for each denomination) and a small harp ...</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course the euro does not &quot;destroy history and tradition&quot;. Sure, those countries in Europe that do not want it should stay out - perfectly fine with me. But for some strange reason we still have our history and tradition. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We have always been able to collect coins from other countries or periods, we can do that today, and we will be able to do that in the future ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
