Euro Coins

I pulled out some of our leftover Euro coins to see if I could use them in my jewelry class, and I was interested in the designs.  Each member state issued a different design for each denomination.  Here are some examples: the French sower, a German oak tree, and Raphael's portrait of Dante from Italy.

Found

It's been kind of fun flying through major airports lately - we've been finding interesting coins. On the left is a Polish dime that we found in Chicago on our way to Istanbul. In the middle is an Israeli coin that we found in Chicago on our way to Seattle. And on the right is some kind of Asian coin that we found in Istanbul. So interesting!
