A very interesting interview: Question: Mr. Tremonti, the Italian finance minister, proposed the adoption of EUR 1 and EUR 2 banknotes together with coins in order to prevent more rises in price. 74% of Italians agree with this proposal, and I want to know what you think about it and if you have discussed this in the European Central Bank. Thank you.

Duisenberg: We have no plans to introduce EUR 1 or EUR 2 banknotes, but we have also heard those noises. Of course, we have discussed it. We are assessing the implications of introducing such a banknote. In principle we have nothing against it, but we are assessing the implications and I hope that Mr. Tremonti realises that if such a banknote were to be introduced, he would lose the seigniorage which goes with it. So whether he, as a minister of finance, would be all that pleased, I do not know".( Willem Duisenberg, Francoforte 12.9.2002).

It was the first time that the word "seigniorage" appears in an official context, by the first president of BCE.

Duisenberg was not found in the swimming pool, but inside the house? http://www.nu.nl/news/567343/10/Wim_Duisenberg_overleden_%28video%29.html 124.197.1.39 20:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
