In 2011 the Netherlands celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Mint building in Utrecht. To honor the centennial the Dutch Ministry of Finance authorize the issue of an additional commemorative coin this year. A special feature on this coin is a 2D (two dimensional) QR barcode. This graphic image stores information both horizontally - as one-dimensional bar codes do - and vertically. QR barcodes are often used in conjunction with smart phones.
