EU citizens and residents have selected a design, symbolizing the euro as the latest step in the long history of European economic integration, for a new euro coin that will be issued next January to commemorate 10 years of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). More than 141,000 people voted in an online competition to select the winning design from a choice of five. The commemorative 2-euro coin will be issued by all euro-area Member States. It is estimated that some 90 million of these coins will be put in circulation. |
