Hello Nightstallion, A rather good item about the two euro commemorative coins.

I like very much the présentation of the table with the 2 euro's photos. The size of the coins seems to be optimal (we should try to have real scans of the coins)
I should have prefer a shorter introduction about the €2 commemorative coins.
Then a first paragraph more official with a reference to the Official Journal of the European Union with the item 2003/C 247/03 Communication from the Commission on the recommendation of 29 September 2003 concerning a common practice for changes to the design of national obverse sides of euro circulation coins
- direct link to http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2003/c_247/c_24720031015en00050006.pdf
- in that part you can make a summary (like the one you have done)
For each coin in the table, just ad the reference to the OJ
- exemple : for the first one (the 2 euro Greek) : 2004/C 91/06 New national side of euro circulation coins with the link : http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2004/c_091/c_09120040415en00050005.pdf
Just have a look to the frenck Wiki : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_%28pi%C3%A8ces_comm%C3%A9moratives_de_2_euros%29

I tried to implement all of your changes... Good? (Trying to make this a feature article out of nowhere, so I need all the feedback I can get. ;)) —Nightstallion (?) 17:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for having implemented these propositions. It seems rather good.

I 've added some light changes :

a first paragraph just to make the intro shorter.
About the coins, it should be better to have the titles at every picture : Image Country - Design - Volume - Date - Reference.

I propose to add the engraver's name. Marc--Flafla89 16:02, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! As I've said, trying to make this my first self-written featured article. ;)

The intro is better now; I had considered the same notion, but couldn't agree with myself on either a title or on where to cut the first paragraph in half. Thanks!

I personally think that it's good the way it is, we needn't give the columns for every coin (especially since it's rather clear what each column contains from context); I wouldn't be against including the engraver and/or designer, if we can find out who they are for all of them.

Thanks for your input! I'll add the remaining four coins and information on upcoming issues in the next (few) day(s). —Nightstallion (?) 07:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motif

Everything looks good. To me tho, motif describes an ongoing theme throughout a set. I would use design, or such. But since this is the euro, maybe motif is a more european definition. The name...Euro commemorative coins(2E)or(E2)(the E is euro symbol, just didn't want to look up how to do it :) or E2 commemorative coins. Other than that, it's nice. :) Joe I 00:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mh, okay, I'll use design, then. I'll move it to €2 commemorative coins, yeah. —Nightstallion (?) 17:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great page. Maybe under volume you could change "mio" because that doesn't realy look like "million" if that's what it's supposed to be. Otherwise everything is to my liking. – Zntrip 02:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh? "Mio." isn't the usual abbreviation for million in English (it is in German)? Oops. ^_^; Should I just use "million" or is there some other common abbreviation? Thanks for the laudatio. ;) —Nightstallion (?) 05:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bravo !

Felicitation Nightstallion ! I really appreciate that item on 2 euros commemorative coins. It is one of the best I have ever seen on the net. Marc --Flafla89 19:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! On that note, I'll move to the final title and nominate for featured-ness. ;) —Nightstallion (?) 19:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

€2 euro coin?

The introductory paragraph contains the text "€2 euro coin". Isn't that redundant? Shouldn't it be either "€2 coin" or "2 euro coin"? Markkawika 08:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, of course. Changed. —Nightstallion (?) 08:50, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Order

Do you think that the list of the coins should be by the day they came out? – Zntrip 18:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I personally prefer listing them by issuing countries. Of course, I don't WP:OWN this article, so if others agree... ;) —Nightstallion (?) 20:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well... I guess nobody has anything to say... – Zntrip 01:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

shrugs Shall we leave it as is for now, then? —Nightstallion (?) 08:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, it is better to keep the date of issue. Marc --Flafla89 15:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
