So there is a certain pressure to make money with the money they make - and that results in issues like this one. They may not be appealing from the point of view of a collector whose aim is to complete some historic coin series. But apparently there are enough people who read about such a novelty piece, think &quot;hey, cute&quot; and buy it. See Fiji, Cook Islands, Liberia etc., and the mints in Canada and France, for example, go in the same direction ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Juanjo Sánchez sure got a lot of reactions and &quot;media echo&quot; when he designed the Dutch Muntgebouw coin last year, with the QR code field. And since the mint in Utrecht makes the Aruban coins, he just went one step further. By the way, you don&#039;t need to buy that coin to find out where the Layar code takes you.
