| the new coins show 'the Continent of Europe' as a whole - i.e. including Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine and Belarus. And in accordance with the wishes of the European Commission, Turkey was also included, if only for the sake of correctly depicting the geographical position of EU member Cyprus. |

| However, government representatives on the European Council changed the Commission's design: Turkey was erased and Cyprus was positioned several hundred kilometres to the West, near Crete, so that it fit in with Europe. |

| Incensed MEPs who got wind of the change feared it was the result of a conspiracy led by opponents to Turkey's accession. The members of the Council appear bewildered by all the uproar. |

about coins, in my opinion, Turkey is not a part of EU , thats why the design of coins is like that. well...future will make things clear. however, i dont think that this will be a backfire on the EU. Turkey, is not ready for EU, because EU can have only christian countries and this is a very big subject. I mean there are a lot of differences between EU and Turkey.
