Congratulations!!! The greek coin has won!!

The winning design of the new euro coin! EU citizens and residents have now selected the winning design of the new commemorative euro coin celebrating 10 years of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the creation of the euro.
Commemorative coins bearing this design will be issued by all euro-area Member States, starting in January 2009.
The design symbolises that the euro is the latest step in the long history of trade, from pre-historic barter – evoked by the deliberately primitive design – to Economic and Monetary Union.
