  The choice of the design of the coins was left to the Italian public by means of a television broadcast where alternative designs were presented, letting the people vote by calling a certain telephone number. However, the 1 euro coin was missing in this election, because Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, the then Economy minister, had already decided it would sport the Vitruvian man of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo's work is highly symbolical as it represents the Renaissance focus on man as the measure of all things, and has simultaneously a round shape that fits the coin perfectly. As Ciampi observed, this represents the "coin to the service of Man", instead of Man to the service of money.

When its fate was decided on 9th August 1965, the island republic had to carve a niche for itself. There was so much to do. One of the first few steps taken was by having a currency system of its own. Singapore then had been using a common currency issued by Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo since 1953. In 1967, Board of Commissioners of Currency, Singapore (BCCS) was established by the Currency Act of 1967. The Act confers on BCCS the sole right to issue currency notes and coins in Singapore.
