New €2 coin design

I have come accross this interesting news this morning. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the launch of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the creation of the euro, European officials have asked the public to vote on the design of a 2-euro coin. The new 2-euro coin with a common design, will be issued across the euro-zone at the beginning of 2009.

Pre-selection of 5 designes presented at eurodesigncontest has resulted from the design competition held within the euro area and the final winning design will be selected by public votes.

Voting will be closed on 22nd February 2008 and a set of high-value euro collector coins is to be win by a participant chosen at random from those who voted for the winning design.
