Proposal "Two Issues of €2 Commemorative Coins per Year"
In a report published by the European Parliament it is being proposed that each country should be allowed to mint a €2 Commemorative coin every six months instead of every year. That would mean that each country would be allowed to mint two €2 commemorative coins per year and a third coin, when a common issue by all the countries is out. This proposal explains why France and Germany, next year are planning to issue two national commemorative coins

Accepting 1 and 2 Euro notes will kill collecting 2E coins in my opinion.
I do not agree with any of new proposals.
Why are Germany & France sure , they will be able to issue second coins in 2013 ? Is it proposal only or "proposal" ?

On one hand, countries are issuing coins of more than 2€ ( 2.5€ by Portugal, 3€ by Slovenia, 5€ by Finland, 10€ by Germany), on the other hand some persons go back and suggest issue of 1 and 2 € banknotes.
You can not make everybody happy.
So do what pleases you, without bothering about what others think.

it would have been better if they had consider another denomination for the second coin (eg 50c) thus it would not put pressure on the €2 commemorative coins collectors but instead we would have a new group of collectors

To read the end of the report ... very interesting.

Optimisation of the euro currency
1 - Although this report is concerned with the issuance of euro coins, one option for the future of the euro currency which the European Central Bank and the Commission could also consider is that of issuing 1 and 2 euro banknotes.
2 - Although issuing 1- and 2-euro banknotes would reduce the number of 1- and 2-euro coins in circulation, the use of 1- and 2-euro banknotes would at the same time have advantages for Member States.
3 - Issuing 1- and 2-euro banknotes would increase the manageability and acceptance of the currency and have a positive influence on European tourism without impairing the value placed on other euro coins intended for circulation.
4 - Issuing 1- and 2-euro banknotes would increase the value of euro collector coins.
5 - The reduction in the number of commemorative coins in circulation will simplify the administrative procedures involved and, by virtue of their greater scarcity, increase the value of each commemorative coin.

I have to to Mint commemorative € 2 coin was prohibited under a load of 1 000 000 pieces. When someone wants to spearhead a small cargo of coins, let them do so in the precious metal.

Some countries like Netherlands, Austria do not avail the existing limit. What will they do with enhanced permission?
Some countries do not mint the quantities allowed. The mints or other countries may be permittted to mint those designs.
Collectors and dealers will be happy as would be mints.
No one will be unhappy.
Nice way to generate happiness.
Why not permit other countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America to join the bandwagon?
World will be happier.

This is still a proposal so it takes time to become a recommendation and it could also fail
If it passes I think it would be applied from next year
