Euro coins
Why are they fluted?
Why are euro coins fluted? There is an explanation in the video.
How often do you have a euro coin in your hand? We all just accept the ripples in our coins and don’t pay much attention to them. The design of the money is no accident.
We always carry it in our wallet – the change. But have you ever taken a closer look at euro coins? Whether 1 euro, 20 cents or 50 cents – each coin is individually fluted. We’ll tell you the reason in the video.
Euro coins – corrugations as an aid
It can hardly be felt when we have a coin in hand. And yet all coins in the euro have fluting. Some more, some less, some almost not at all. And there is a reason for that. The corrugation makes the type of coin unique and easy to recognize. You can find out why this design is so important and which coin was designed how in the video.
