How to make money with free software...
- r7000 18y agoI didn't realize that the headline would be so.. literal. Very inspiring modern design.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoMoney shot: I would have loved to release the coin under the GPL, which could maybe solve the financial crisis. However for obvious reasons I was not allowed to do that.
- nuclear_eclipse 18y agoIt's absolutely amazing how much thought, detail, and reference to national heritage and geography goes into the design of coins. The only sad part is that (at least here in the US) 95% of citizens couldn't care less, even if they could comprehend what they were actually seeing on the coin's faces.
- helveticaman 18y agoWhat about state quarters? Plus, what about coin collectors in general?
- astine 18y agoMost people aren't coin collectors. Also, some of the designs on the state quarters leave a little to be desired.
- vlad 18y agoLooks like they've decided to make a 10 Euro "gold" version of the coin as well. http://en.knm.nl/domains/knm/content/arch10_2008s.jpg http://en.knm.nl/domains/knm/content/arch10_2008s.jpg
- louislouis 18y agoI want one of those.
- delano 18y agoI'm late reading about this coin but I'm going to the Post Office tomorrow to see if they have any left. Do you want me to get an extra one?
- intellibitz 18y agoVery well done.
- Timothee 18y agoGood read! I really like the way every single detail was thought out and actually made sense. It happens quite often that the explanations for a design are corny and far-stretched.
- maximilian 18y agoI wish the united states would have competitions for its coinage. I've seen mind-blowing designs from both the netherlands and the UK that are just amazing, while we get boring coins and bills (some of which have HUGE text set in the wrong typeface - $20, i'm looking at you)
