STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Two of the eight euro coins due to come into
circulation in January release so much nickel that people allergic to the
metal could develop hand eczema, according to a study obtained by Reuters
on Friday.

Just five minutes of contact with one-euro (88 U.S. cents) and two-euro
coins containing nickel alloy could trigger symptoms, including skin
inflammation or itching, the study by a Swedish dermatologist and British
laboratory scientist said.
