As I have just said, I know one free software program but you can&#039;t design your own reports and it is in Spanish (this is good for me but not for you).</p><p><br /></p><p>@Christian : the Slovenian coin was quite expensive, but I was terribly lucky as I could get one roll from the Slovenian mint, a bit more expensive than face value. For those who do not know the value, let&#039;s say that I paid €2&#039;60 and you will not find it for less than €18 (don&#039;t worry, I didn&#039;t get profit from this). </p><p><br /></p><p>Some comments, as some non-EU people may not know about this (of course, I know that you know this) : Before the euro, there where some 2000 pesetas commemorative silver coins. They where minted for collections, but you could also use them as cash. In fact, my grandmother gave me one she got at the hairdressers&#039;!</p><p>As euro came, 2000 pesetas = €12, so they minted €12 coins. You cannot use them as cash all over the EU. Other silver and gold commemorative coins are not circulation coins at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like circulation coins too, so I hate paying for MC, SM, VA, although I have some sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was discussing that issue about that women designs just this morning. Most people said that it is a pity that we have so many designs about the same things : Cervantes (the writer) and Quijote (his book) have appeared on different coins in Spain. We also welcome new designs. We also think that there should be equal opportunities for women. Sometimes they have different&nbsp; salaries for the same work. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you should not force that women must be the same number, for example, in candidate elections lists, or when you are electing your ministers for your government, as PSOE (Spain government party) is trying to do. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I would welcome more women on coins, as well as other things : plants, animals, artists, important events, monuments... But I think it makes no sense to force it, as the idea seems to mint 8 coins for 2009 new designs : 4 for men and the other half for women. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for my poor English. I must say that this is only my opinion, and I hope it is not misunderstood. I must say too, that I strongly believe that women must be considered equal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
