Currently, there is no official information on the design process for the Polish national sides, though it has been indicated that some kind of public vote will be used.


Controversially, Poland has not yet set an official target date for introduction of the euro, which led to much criticism from the EU Commission. Under the terms of the Treaty of Accession 2003, all New Member States "shall participate in the Economic and Monetary Union from the date of Accession as a Member State with a derogation", which means that Poland is obliged to introduce the euro. It should be noted, however, that Sweden is technically also obliged to introduce the euro, which is not planned to be reconsidered until 2010 after a referendum in 2003 resulted in a clear "no". It has been warned however, that any move similar to that of Sweden in the new states will not be tolerated, as it has been with Sweden.

On January 17, 2006, Polish Finance Minister Zyta Gilowska said in an interview that Poland will not adopt the euro before 2010, adding that 2011 was an achievable deadline. In October 2006, the Polish President Lech Kaczyński said in an interview with Spain's El Mundo that euro entry "should be a subject submitted to a referendum, which would take place at the end of my legislature, which ends in 2010" adding "and I speak of the referendum, not of the introduction of the euro." He commented that joining the euro would be "a limitation of the sovereignty [of Poland]" and said that "the euro is still an experiment and it will be necessary to observe if it works well...its introduction can cause inflation and lower the standard of life."

Euro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (7345 words)
All euro coins have a common side showing the denomination (value) and a national side showing an image specifically chosen by the country that issued it; the monarchies often have a picture of their reigning monarch, other countries usually have their national symbols.
The euro was established by the provisions in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European Union that was used to establish an economic and monetary union.
Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City previously used currencies that were replaced by the euro, and now mint their own euro coins by virtue of agreements concluded with EU member states (Italy in the case of San Marino and Vatican City, and France in the case of Monaco), on behalf of the European Community.
Coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1117 words)
A coin is usually a piece of hard material, generally metal and usually in the shape of a disc, which is issued by a government to be used as a form of money.
Some coins have coin orientation, where the coin must be flipped vertically to see the other side; other coins, such as British coins, have medallic orientation, where the coin must be flipped horizontally to see the other side.
Coins that are not round (British 50 pence for example) usually have an odd number of sides, with the edges rounded off.
