          Would you not call the plastic surgeon an artist?

            Some of them, yeah. This latest batch of plastic surgeons out in florida seems to have been studying sad clowns painted on velvet by edvard munch during art school or something

    I had no idea each country got to have their own euro design. That’s cool as hell.

      US did this with state quarters in late 90s. These customized euros arrived early 2000s. Perhaps inspired? I’m not sure.

        I think it was more like We had national currencies so let’s at least keep national backsides of coins.

        The paper money is the same btw

            The same in the sense that they are the same in each country. I see I put it ambiguously. Sorry.

        Yeah, but the state quarters weren’t produced in or otherwise exclusively released in those states

      Tbf, last I checked, Greece was still suffering under the draconian austerity policies that the IMF and Germany attached to the bailout a few years ago.

      It wouldn’t surprise me that much if “paying artists” has become categorically illegal for the Greek government to do.

    I’ve always wanted a few random coins (but authentic) from way back. I dunno why but thought it’d be best to have a bit of history I guess. Really just always searched Greek and Roman assume they have the most out there available now.

    Also love a fun lightsaber on the mantle I’m not picky really, though the coins seem more interesting overall.
