2024 Olympics: distribution of four million coins to students annoys unions. Educational booklets on the Paris Olympic Games, including a 2 euro coin from the Paris Mint, are distributed to students from CP to CM2.
The operation cost the State 16 million euros. “It’s a crazy amount of money used for a purpose that is not educational. This mismanagement is just a vast media operation, says Estelle Guyon, professor in Angers and co-secretary in Maine-et-Loire of SNUipp-FSU.
