I saw a piece on television when the Vatican euro coins were
about to come out. Italy was minting them for the Vatican. Euros
from other countries were going to circulate in the Vatican City, and all
of the specific Vatican euros were to be sold to tourists at more than face
value. For this reason, the Vatican wanted lots of them, but Italy
was refusing to mint more than called for in the original agreement.
Meanwhile, some of the Protestant countries were miffed that money with the
likeness of the Pope would be legal tender within their borders.

A little off topic, but has anybody ever seen VA,
SM or MC Euro-coins?
