New Euro Coin Released With MultiView Effect

Jacco de Leeuw writes "Remember those postcards that showed different pictures depending on the angle you looked at them? Royal Dutch Mint has placed a new 10 Euro coin into circulation today that exhibits a similar effect. They invented a new minting technique called MultiView Minting. One side of the coin shows photos of the Dutch heir to the throne, his wife and their newborn daughter Amalia. The three pictures were lasered onto 46 ribs, which is the number of chromosomes in a human cell. This clip shows the effect."

Thanks. But since I am going to Amsterdam I'll figure I'd need some cash as well. Although something like this would make a great ad:

5 grams of hash 60 Euros
Mushroom Caps 12 euros, each
Prostitute, Blonde 100 euros for half hour

Having a trip to amsterdam you only remember from your creditcard statements: priceless

Some things, money can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard. Accepted everywhere. Even Rasta Baby's.
