Central Bank minting more coins

Lingering uncertainty about the Czech Republic’s euro adoption timetable has prompted the country’s Central Bank to increase its production of crown coins. The original plan was to adopt the euro in 2010 but a huge fiscal deficit and unfinished pension and health reforms have led the government to postpone the target date for euro adoption indefinitely. The slippage in the euro schedule made the bank change tack, boosting the production of coins in various denominations.
