Foreign Coin swap

Euros are euros, there is no such thing as German euros or French euros. They are the same for all countries that use euros.

@eustella I'm so glad you commented because my brain was just blown by that! "How did I not know there were different Euros after all these years?" Now I've gotta unblow my mind. :)

@BBQ I'm putting this on my watchlist.

@ Eustella. There are different euro coins for every country in Europe! The front is the same but every country was allowed to chose what's on the back. I have Euro's of several countries in my pocket...

@eustella No, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm almost tempted to say obviously. The value of the euro coins are the same in all the countries that use them, but the coins themselves are of course not the same. Haven't you ever seen any euro coins? Well, obviously not. :-) There are any number of different ones. The German ones have the German eagle on them, for instance, or the Brandenburg Gate, while the French coins often have a portrait of Marianne. The monarchies in the union have portraits of their monarchs - the Belgian euros have King Albert on them, the Dutch ones have Queen Beatrix, etc. (Although in Spain only some of the coins have Juan Carlos' portrait on them, they actually mostly show the great writer Miguel de Cervantes.)

The name of the country of issue is also embossed on many of the coins. Ie, on Spanish euro coins it says Espana, on Irish ones it says Eire, etc. Although some countries don't use their name on their coins, I know Finland doesn't. But they are all different in design. As they must be - it was hard enough for the member countries to give up their own money as it was, if they shouldn't also be forced to surrender all signs of national identity in that area.

The point isn't that all euro coins are the same. The point is that they are all worth the same, and can all be used all over the euro area. Two totally different things. :-)

@papercaper don't unblow your mind, eustella is completely wrong.
