		In relation to this, the vice president of the Spanish government had already answered those town councils having adhered the "Plural stamps" campaign that it is possible "to promote bilingual inscriptions in the philatelic field", as long as the words "Correos" (mail service) and "España" shall not be translated in any case.

	Spanish Euro Coin Starter Packs
		We were told that on the first day, there was no limit on the quantity people could have, but by the second day, there were fears that the supply of the packs would run out, and a limit was placed on the number of packs each person could buy.
		The starter packs are packed loosely, therefore the coins they contain are likely to be somewhat bag-marked, and will not be as collectable as coins supplied in rolls or in sets.
		The launch of the Euro is such an important event in world history, that we have changed our views about starter packs, and can see that unopened packs may well become treasured collectors items.
