18 July 2008- Future EMU Member Pages
Since this website has always been about information on the euro, why not include information on future EMU members, no matter how far into the future we can expect them to adopt the Euro? Of the eight new pages, you will only find those EU members whose euro coin designs have not yet been chosen. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will remain in the 'future' category. The new pages will detail the process for each country as it is preparing for euro adoption; they will have the latest news and information.

There are eight new pages... please have a look at them:

  1. The Euro and Bulgaria
  2. The Euro and Czechia
  3. The Euro and Denmark
  4. The Euro and Hungary
  5. The Euro and Poland
  6. The Euro and Romania
  7. The Euro and Sweden
  8. The Euro and United Kingdom

The Euro- €2 Commemorative Design- 10th Euro Anniversary
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the launch of EMU and of the introduction of the euro, all euro-area countries will issue a commemorative 2-euro coin with a common design at the beginning of 2009.
On the basis of a design competition between the Mints of the euro area followed by a pre-selection of designs by the Mint Directors, the winning design will be chosen exclusively by EU citizens and residents by voting on the specific web site set up for this purpose.
The design that receives the highest number of votes will be selected as the winner. One winner will be chosen among those having voted for the winning design. The prize will be a set of high-value euro collector coins.
Voting will start on 31 January and finish on 22 February 2008.
The winner will be announced on 25 February 2008.
