EC gives go-ahead for minting of commemorative 2-euro piece

The European Commission yesterday gave the go-ahead to the Greek government
to mint a commemorative 2-euro coin to boost the budget of the Olympic Games
by 100 million euros. Sources said 50 million commemorative coins will
circulate in the eurozone as of January 1. The approval came as the
Commission lifted a ban on EU member states minting commemorative coins,
imposed following the introduction of the euro in January 2002. Now EU
countries can mint commemorative issues, but only 2-euro coins and one issue
per year per state, according to the Commission's decision.
