Greek euro coins feature a unique design for every one of the eight coins. They were all designed by '' (λεπτό; plural ''lepta'', λεπτά) in Greek. Because of the fact that Greece did not enter the eurozone until 2000 and was, thus, not able to start minting coins as early as the other eleven member states, a number of coins circulated in 2002 had not been minted in Athens but in Finland (1€ and 2€ - mint mark ''S''), France (1c, 2c, 5c, 10c and 50c - mint mark ''F'') and Spain (20c - mint mark ''E''). The coins minted in Athens for the Euro introduction in 2002 as well as all the subsequent Greek euro coins do not carry any mint mark. For Images Of The Common Side and a detailed description of the coins, see Euro Coins . In the 2 € Coin Edge the words ''Hellenic Republic'' in Greek and in Greek script (Ελληνική Δημοκρατία) can be found. EXTERNAL LINKS
