Editing Finnish euro coins (section)

===Amendments===
In December 2006, the [[Bank of Finland]] announced the following:

"The national sides of euro coins will be amended so that each issuing Member State will add its name or abbreviation (FI for [[Finland]]) on the coins. On Finnish coins the first letter of the Mint of Finland’s President and CEO (M for Raimo Makkonen) will also be replaced with the Mint’s logo. Amendments to the national sides affect all denominations of euro coins.

"Each euro area Member State will decide on the schedule for the introduction of their new coins. In Finland the new coins will be put into circulation in January 2007. The current coins will remain valid, and coins in stock will be put into circulation as necessary. This way coins with the new designs will mix with the current coins in circulation."<ref>{{cite press release|title = Designs of euro coins will be amended in 2007|publisher = Bank of Finland|date = 2006-12-27|url = http://www.bof.fi/en/suomen_pankki/ajankohtaista/tiedotteet/2006/tiedote33_2006.htm|access-date = 2007-04-09|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071212193518/http://www.bof.fi/en/suomen_pankki/ajankohtaista/tiedotteet/2006/tiedote33_2006.htm|archive-date = 2007-12-12|url-status = dead}}</ref>

Finland was the first state in the [[Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union|EMU]] (European Monetary Union) to implement these changes.
