As of January 1, 2004, all EU member states were allowed to issue 2€ commemorative coins, which are legal tender throughout the European Union. Most of them are dedicated to various historical events, anniversaries or current dates of cultural significance. For example, the first version was made in Greece, dedicated to the Olympic Games taking place in Athens.
