US did this with state quarters in late 90s. These customized euros arrived early 2000s. Perhaps inspired? I'm not sure.

I think it was more like We had national currencies so let's at least keep national backsides of coins.

The paper money is the same btw

Is a much more interesting but wholly unrelated sentence.

The same in the sense that they are the same in each country. I see I put it ambiguously. Sorry.

Yeah, but the state quarters weren't produced in or otherwise exclusively released in those states

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
