FILE - In this Monday, June 16, 1997 file photo, Belgian designer Luc Luycx, centre, is surrounded by the new Euro coins he designed during a presentation in Amsterdam. At left is European financial affairs commissioner Yves-Thibauld De Silguy, and Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm, right. Europe’s experiment with sharing a currency is turning 20 in a few days.
