E.C. - + They should coat the (some) Euro coins with nickel-silver, or 18 karat gold-copper. There aren't many gold alloys that are that hard, but 18 karat lasts in jewelry. Rhodium gold is a suggestion, but Rh is very expensive. Osmium alloy or platinum palladium such as Modulay are other suggestsions. Gold-nickel is also possible. If I'm not mistaken, they've already found that some of the euro coins cause some degree of toxic reaction in about 15% of the population due to contact with their nickel content. Regards, Don
