    In the past, an alternative to this has been using legal currency coins in machines that transform them into souvenir coins with no currency value. This has the effect of destroying some small amount of currency which can be problematic. Issuing zero value currency in local patterns as souvenirs not only dodges this problem, it adds a source of profit to slightly offset currency production costs in general.

    This reminds me of a thing we have in the USA and Canada called "squished pennies". Its a legal defacing of federal money for the purpose of printing a landmark or touristic attraction onto a penny by replacing its 1¢ value with artwork. You insert your penny at a tourist destination and it crushes the copper into a blank canvas that can have a design printed on it. This seems very similar but ours aren't government issued.

    On the Euro coins, one side is the "common side" which is on every coin, and the other side is the "national side" which each country's central bank can put whatever they want on the coins they mint. The German coins have the Federal Eagle, the Irish coins have the Celtic Harp, the Spanish coins have the King of Spain. You can spend them in any country regardless of what country they're from. It would've been nice if they'd done the same with the notes, one side common, and the other side national, rather than having them universal.

    • @minephlip
      @minephlip 2 роки тому +8

      it made me obsessed with coins as a kid! Each country has a couple of different designs, and can be found very far from the country they originated from. I collected a lot of them, but as we live in the Netherlands, 90% of the coins were just Dutch, German, Belgian or French. France has some of the pretter ones i think. I used to hate the belgian one with the king on it bc it was really common and it's just a lame design to have an old man on there when you could litterally have anything else (though our own coins also have the current queen or kings face on them).
      it's really cool to come across like an cyprus or lithuania coin though. I don't think i've ever seen/noticed one!
