<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1461742, member: 25270"]As far as euro designs go, I don't like the ultra-modern coins in general, and even before the euro some countries were going that route (Belgium, for example). I didn't have a problem with the euro until the house of cards started crashing down. Now the problems with a currency that spans dozens of countries are clear, though. You're in a situation where citizens of countries that acted responsibly are expected to bail out countries that did not. That goes against human nature and I don't see how it can work. If I was a German taxpayer, I wouldn't want to pay to help out the Greeks and Italians and Spanish. Even in the U.S., which is much more united than the European nations, I couldn't see one state bailing out another one. The citizens wouldn't stand for it. I don't mean to derail this thread on the lovely Austrian coins though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
