Okay, what's a Bronze coin doing on a blog about silver coins?
Well, this is such an interesting coin that I thought I ought to share it with you. This is probably the first legal tender coin in the world with moving parts!
This coin was issued in 2003 to commemorate the adoption of the Euro currency by the initial Euro members.
It has a silver rotating dial which shows the currency exchange rate of each of the Euro countries at the time of the adoption of the Euro on 1/1/2003! Cool yah?
The coin has a face value of 60 pence and only 15,000 pieces were minted.
Click on the picture and look closely, can you spot all the 12 stars which correspond to the 12 Euro members?
