10 euro coin (legal tender) for the 10th anniversary of gay marriage in France

Sauce

10 euro coins are pretty common across Europe, but only legal tender in the issuing country.

Colour coins? That's cursed.

Hah, that probably pissed off a lot of people. I love it.

I bet there are some people out there who refuse to accept these coins as change, lest they catch "The Gay".

You know what pissed a lot of people and felt VERY good? When the girl who sang the French hymn at the Paris Olympics opening was black. Oh boy did it feel right

I get it (and it makes me happy, too), but would I would like to see is nobody getting pissed off. I know it will never happen in my lifetime, but I wish I could see that coin being as innocuous as Abraham Lincoln on a penny

That wildly political figure? For real though, with all the confederate flags I’m surprised it isn’t more controversial

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They probably just know saying "Ew, I dont want no tyrant Lincoln on my money" looks really bad even now

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What the fuck? 10 year anniversary? That hurts

They're probably surprised that it's only been legal for ten years

I'm heartbroken
