Latvian euro coins will have national symbols on them, the business information portal Nozare.lv was informed by the euro project head Dace Kalsone.

After Latvia joins the euro-zone, the euro paper currency will be the same as elsewhere in Europe, and only coins will have Latvian symbols on them, writes LETA.

 

She emphasized that each euro-zone country is entitled to coins with their own designs, and that these coins can be used as legal tender in all euro-zone countries.

 

As reported, Kalsone took up the job of Latvia's euro introduction project manager on March 12. Before her appointment as the euro project's head, Kalsone was working as an analyst at the Bank of Latvia from 1997.

 

The euro introduction project includes five task forces, and the head of the project is the uniting element to coordinate implementation of the project.

 

Latvia's goal is to introduce the euro by January 1, 2014.
