[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 6167, member: 708"]You are correct in you assumptions! :D I'm not keen on too much standardisation, i like variance and a wide numismatic playing field to investigate, i just think euros take the fun out of that. Admittedly it makes cash transactions and stuff fantastically easy compared to how it was before, but from a collector point of view it's alot like a white room, lacks colour and imagination. The designs aren't really invigourating either on some of them, plain money saving low relief cliparts. Gone is the painstaking artistry of the designer, the skilled realistic portrayals, it's all gone to modern silhouette imagery. Although, as you may have guessed, i dislike modern art immensly, it would be nice to see a coin done in surrealism, kinda like those steps that go on forever, but all seem to be going uphill. Amazing stuff.[/QUOTE]
