historic currency equivalence

Mette Unofficial Patterns On a number of previous occasions, especially before major coinage changes, pattern coins have been produced as a design exercise or to test public opinion. Many of these have been privately produced. A privately produced pattern set of British euro coins has already been produced, and met with intense demand, despite almost negligible marketing. Original priced at around €40, these have changed hands for over €250 on e-bay. ------------------------------------------- Really !! That gives me an idea ;-)) -------------------------------------------- We have not yet seen any suggested designs for Turkish euro coins, but... Watch this space! |

Quite interesting items. Before asking here, I checked naturally with the European Central Bank, but for good reasons found no relevant information. Havng seen your images I think though, that my "little piece of Turkey" might be a play-coin. Mette |

"Tony Vella" skrev i en meddelelse ... Hi Mette. Turkey is not officially part of the EU - their application was submitted in 2004, if I remember correctly, and at the time it was estimated it would take ten years for a final decision. As much as I remember the Turks "tried their luck" already in 2002, when Denmark took over the chair of EU. The Cyprus situation, I believe, was mentioned as a stumbling block. I read somewhere that many "Turkish Euros" were made privately as trial balloons, but I have no idea by whom. Probably this is what you got your hands on. Hope this helps. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://www.amedialuz.ca/ "Mette" wrote in message k...

Turkey is not a member of the EU, and its road to becoming one is very difficult.. A list of members can be found he http://geography.about.com/od/lists/a/eumembers.htm Thank you -- I know this list :-) Mette |
