Greek design picked for commemorative euro coinGreece'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."
