Happens with the Canadian $2 coin as well...Coin Joke for you.
Why is the queen smiling on one side of the Canadain $2 coin? Because everyone is rubbing the bear @ss on the other side...

But...there have been around coins very similar to that of 1 & 2 Euros for years and nobody got hurt. (Of course,few people keep coins in their hands for hours consecutively).
I remember the 2 francs and 500 lira coins. My personal opinion is that coins are more hygenic than dirty banknotes.

The coinage breaks the EU's own rules on how much nickel is in there. The problems with inflation and interest rates being too high for countries like Germany are real. It's been a disaster.
