 </span></blockquote>It&#39;s an absurd idea, particularly on the coins. The EU is bound to expand <br/>
in the future and then the map will be incorrect. In addition, the non-EU <br/>
states that use the euro are not represented.<br/>
<br/>
If they must have a map, then it should just be a generic representation of <br/>
Europe with no borders.<br/>
