The European Union has a new design for their two-Euro coin that could have been designed by a two-year old. No, really. The coin will feature a stick-figure or matchstick man as it's called in Britain. No, really.
Brussels is to issue a matchstick-man two-Euro coin to commemorate ten years of economic and monetary union.
The "deliberately primitive design," which could have been drawn by a four-year-old, was chosen from a shortlist of five and will been issued in all Euro-area countries from next year.
I maintain that the design of the coin could have been drawn by a two-year old, but pop over and have a look. Of course, this changes the meaning of this old song completely.
Less is more?
Why not a happy face?

This is my suggestion for the coin, a stick figure with its hands up. ( if it works, I’m terrible at it )
It’s kind of ugly, oh, excuse me, aesthetically challenged, too!
It looks like a hammer and a siclke to me.
Something else, I left a comment last night at the Daily Mail site where Gaius is linking to, and I went back just now and the comment is not there, nor are there any other comments. I’m guessing everyone is saying the same thing I did… that it’s ridiculous. And then getting censored for a clean yet negative response.
