From the article: "Each year the Vatican issues euro coins, that are legal tender and able to be used Europe-wide."

 

Huh? None of them can be used Europe wide. The €2 piece is legal tender in Euroland (but does not show the Pope). The other four coins are legal tender in the Vatican only. Not that it matters much since nobody is going to use them at, say, a grocery store ... :ninja:
