<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 51578, member: 39&quot;]Isn&#039;t the grass always greener on the other side? ;-)&nbsp; I collect &quot;both&quot; too, euros (circulation, commemorative and collector coins) and US coins - mostly the &quot;common stuff&quot; like SQs and the new nickels but I also have a few clad halfs and silver dollars. Nothing really rare or precious in my US collection, but lots of nicely designed pieces ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and here is a first &quot;official word&quot; regarding the new euro designs. From the EU Presidency&#039;s website:</p><p><a href="http://www.eu2005.lu/en/actualites/communiques/2005/05/13infoecofin1/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eu2005.lu/en/actualites/communiques/2005/05/13infoecofin1/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eu2005.lu/en/actualites/communiques/2005/05/13infoecofin1/index.html</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;With regard to the future minting of euro coins, the ministers agreed that the future common side of coins to be minted by the new Member States of the euro zone shall represent the entire European Union territory. In a second phase, once new coins are issued in the whole euro zone, this practice shall be universally applied.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
