Greek design picked for commemorative euro coin
Greece's future in the euro may be in doubt, but the European Union (EU) has nevertheless picked a Greek design for a special coin for the 30th anniversary of the bloc's official flag.
With no discernible irony, the two-euro coin designed by Georgios Stamatopoulos of the Bank of Greece was chosen by 30 per cent of 100,000 voters in an online competition by the European Commission.
It features childishly-drawn human shapes dancing in a circle around the EU's 12-starred flag.
Stamatopoulos said the design "represents twelve stars that morph into human figures embracing the birth of a new Europe."

Irony ? Let's hope that Greeks bearing gifts doesn't end in tears for all concerned. Fingers crossed and all that.
