If there only would be some kind of unified market in Europe where every country would be free to trade … 😉

Water under the bridge. Just apply again!

Of course this time there will be no special treatment 😊 (no border exceptions, no currency exceptions).

Great self own if happen, but a loss for numismatics. Some of the nicest coins in rotation atm, especially the collective shield they form.

You can still have the collective shield using euros.

Yes, I know. You can do the same with euros, if the British euro has the same drawings in the back. Each country has different designs on the back of their coins.
