<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1298151, member: 39&quot;]Sure, except that, for some reason, eurobashing occurs a lot in the UK and the US whereas people in other non-euro countries (e.g Denmark and Sweden) tend to have a different attitude: Quite possibly skeptical, but less aggressive as far as I can tell. Maybe this has something to do with the overall attitude of British and Americans when it comes to things EU, maybe it has different reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I like about Frizio&#039;s &quot;2017&quot; design is that it tries to be a little different for each euro area member state. After all, these common issues have exactly the same design, except for the country name and language. The <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/euro/cash/commemorative/10years_emu_en.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/euro/cash/commemorative/10years_emu_en.htm" rel="nofollow">2009 &quot;stickman&quot; coins</a> for example ... brrr. And next year&#039;s common issue - well, at least the design is better in my opinion. (Here is an image of the <a href="http://www.zwei-euro.com/news/artikel/a/2011/10/14/article/originalbild-der-2-euro-gemeinschaftsausgabe-2012.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.zwei-euro.com/news/artikel/a/2011/10/14/article/originalbild-der-2-euro-gemeinschaftsausgabe-2012.html" rel="nofollow">German piece</a>.) Now Frizio takes the &quot;same design for all&quot; concept into account, but by allowing for some variety in the &quot;background&quot;, it looks more interesting and less monotonous.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Cyprus and Malta, I hardly ever come across coins from there. Once in a while, yes, but certainly not often. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I am in DE, close to NL, and most of the coins I see are from here and from other (big and/or neighboring) countries. The Irish euro coins - well, I have them (by type) but do not find them all that attractive as Ireland decided to use one single design for all eight denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
