<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1441072, member: 39&quot;]In fifty years, people may still remember what &quot;coins&quot; were <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but let&#039;s face it, such surcharged collector coins are hardly ever in &quot;everybody&#039;s mind&quot;. What the Austrian Mint is currently doing may be a little more promising - they launched a series of €10 pieces that honor the nine Austrian states and, in a base metal version, can be had at face. One side of each piece was designed by a schoolkid. <a href="http://www.meinemuenze.at/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.meinemuenze.at/" rel="nofollow">http://www.meinemuenze.at/</a>&nbsp; However, the mint&#039;s designers will then &quot;polish&quot; the designs, so the coin that you hold in your hand will not exactly be what the child designed. Have a look at the attached Steiermark (Styria) design ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Larger image of nine year old Viktoria Reicht&#039;s original design:</p><p><a href="http://www.meinemuenze.at/sites/default/files/muenze/Muenze-Stmk-2011_ReichtViktoria_1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.meinemuenze.at/sites/default/files/muenze/Muenze-Stmk-2011_ReichtViktoria_1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.meinemuenze.at/sites/default/files/muenze/Muenze-Stmk-2011_ReichtViktoria_1.jpg</a></p><p>Larger image of the Mint&#039;s design (cursor works as a magnifying glass):</p><p><a href="https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/Produkte/10-Euro-Silbermuenze" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/Produkte/10-Euro-Silbermuenze" rel="nofollow">https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/Produkte/10-Euro-Silbermuenze</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
