GREEK SCULPTOR'S DESIGN WINS EUROPEAN CONTEST FOR COMMEMORATIVE COIN

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of the beginning of the circulation of the euro, the EU will unveil a new 2 Euro coin. This is only the second time that a commemorative coin has been minted. Greek sculptor George Stamatopoulos's drawing of a primitive stick figure blending into the euro symbol was chosen by 41 percent of the 140,000 Europeans who cast votes. He beat out four other designs; all of which can be viewed on the site below. The new coin will be circulated to all of the 15 nations that use the Euro starting January of 2009. Euro Design Contest
