Answer to Bi-metallic Quiz Game question #643
On some 2002 Bi-metallic 2 Euro coins of Greece, a small "S" is incuse in a star. These coins were minted in a country other than Greece. In which country were these coins minted?
a. Sweden
b. Switzerland
c. Slovakia
d. Spain
The correct answer for Quiz #643 is None of the selections. Finland (Suomi) was the minter of these coins. Sorry if some are offended by this deception. I will avoid it in the future.
