There are already rumors on the net about the design of the future Iceland coins. While I am very skeptical about those designs (they contain features that are against the recent recommendations) I wonder at what phase of the euro adoption a country is supposed to choose the design of their coins.
This would answer me why Bulgaria still has not shown a specific design, just a topic so far and almost a year had passed since that topic was selected. This would also answer me why Poland, for example, still donot have even a topic. Can a country choose the design and get it approved by the ECB even before joining the union, like Iceland?
Anyone has an answer to these questions?
Thanks,
Miguel
