Croatia scraps euro coin design over plagiarism controversy

Scandal erupted after logo selected in contest to mark entry into eurozone looked like a copy of British photographer's work

Croatia's national bank announced a new tender for the country's one-euro coin design after a plagiarism scandal led to the withdrawal of an earlier submission.

Croatia is preparing to adopt the euro currency in 2023 and last week unveiled the winners of a contest whose designs were set to be struck into the Balkan country's new coins.
