<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 54938, member: 39&quot;]Personally I do not find the absence of a country name to be very confusing but am not bothered by them either ... At least that put an end to those odd rumors about &quot;Brussels&quot; wanting to do away with the country specific sides. As for why the Greek have the denomination on their national sides too, as far as I know that was some kind of compromise - the common sides have the unit names in Latin characters only which would have been quite odd for the Greek. So they were even allowed to use the traditional name lepto/lepta in Greek characters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other &quot;local&quot; spellings, in languages written with Latin characters, do not appear on any euro or cent coin. (Why the Austrian pieces repeat the value in euro and cent ... don&#039;t ask me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )&nbsp; So neither the Finnish or French usage is used on the pieces, and I guess that will apply to new euro countries too. What terms are used in everyday use and even local legal documents is a different story ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
