<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 868945, member: 39&quot;]We are getting to the &quot;edge&quot; here, I think - somebody may soon say that this is a topic for the PRWE Forum. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But in most European countries, even those where one religion &quot;dominates&quot;, we do have a separation of church and state, or rather of politics and religion. Coins are issued by the government, not by any church, and I for one would find it strange if we had religious mottos on our coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for monarchies, well, a head of state who got the &quot;job&quot; not by vote but due to his or her blue blood <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> is not exactly democratic, and I sure prefer a republic over a kingdom, duchy, etc.&nbsp; But I am willing to admit that there are several countries in Europe that have, for a long time, combined a democratic system and a monarchy with mostly representational functions pretty well ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
