But, like pretty much everything else in the euro area, a new denomination would have to be agreed upon by all countries involved. Good luck ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Later this month (or in early June) the Dutch mint will issue an &quot;Art of Painting&quot; collector coin.
