Estonian coin causes uproar

Estonia's introduction of the euro has caused controversy after it was claimed a map of the Baltic country on its one euro coin includes a chunk of neighbouring Russia.

A prominent member of Estonia's ethnic Russian community complained about the coin to the Kremlin, provoking a diplomatic row just days after the euro started circulating on January 1.

Estonia's ambassador to Moscow said the borders depicted might be "a millimetre out here and there" but the outline was broadly right.
