10 euro coin (legal tender) for the 10th anniversary of gay marriage in France

Sauce

Hah, that probably pissed off a lot of people. I love it.

You know what pissed a lot of people and felt VERY good? When the girl who sang the French hymn at the Paris Olympics opening was black. Oh boy did it feel right

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I bet there are some people out there who refuse to accept these coins as change, lest they catch "The Gay".

I get it (and it makes me happy, too), but would I would like to see is nobody getting pissed off. I know it will never happen in my lifetime, but I wish I could see that coin being as innocuous as Abraham Lincoln on a penny

That wildly political figure? For real though, with all the confederate flags I’m surprised it isn’t more controversial

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They probably just know saying "Ew, I dont want no tyrant Lincoln on my money" looks really bad even now

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the fuck? 10 year anniversary? That hurts

They're probably surprised that it's only been legal for ten years

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

out of stock

I'm heartbroken

10 euro coins are pretty common across Europe, but only legal tender in the issuing country.
