I think that our Queen Beatrix will figure on the Euro coins too, Han ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis JOURDAN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 7:26 AM Subject: [USMA:13533] Re: http://election.independent.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=76500 At 22:14 -0400 01/06/6, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 2001-06-06 20:46:31 Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This article suggests that Tony Blair will launch a campaign to sell the UK on joining in use of the Euro. I hope he succeeds. That will tie the UK to the EU more completely, presumably to SI too. Norm That would be ironic. UK without HM The Queen on the money, but Canada with. Carleton Not sure : euro coins have one side identical whatever the country issueing them ; the other side is specific to the country. E.g. French coins bear the "Marianne" picture, as a symbol of the French Republic. Nothing will prevent the British mint to issue coins with HM The Queen on their "national" side. BTW, it will certainly be a popular game to have euro coins from all Euroland countries in the shortest time... Louis
