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."

    Washington and Lincoln were great presidents.

    Reagan was a steaming pile of crap. Putting him on a coin would be a disgrace to the entire nation (much like making him president in the first place). The only U.S. president in recent history as bad as Reagan is the current one.

    If you want a third republican president for the coin why not Nixon? Now he was a republican president! At least with him, we knew he was a cold calculating liar, which makes a much better president than the mentally retarded (Reagan, Bush Jr.).
