Euro coins

The Spanish Parliament will debate a draft proposed by the Socialist Party PSOE demanding the Government to reflect equality policies on coins as well.

The initiative, that will be expectedly approved, would include women's pictures crafted on euro coins. The first would be Clara Campoamor, main defender of women's vote during the Spanish Second Republic.

In the proposal, socialists remind that since 1868, when the peseta was elected as only coin in the Spanish State, women's images on coins have only been allegorical. That is why they think it's time to catch real women's images on euros.

Furthermore, the initiative was designed as a "tribute" and "compensation to so many women ignored" that "played a decisive role" in different fields.
