Why do euros, mexican pesos and peruvian soles have the same design? Grey/silver outer ring with a gold center

Bi-metallic design is mainly used to make the coins harder to counterfeit, to make it more expensive to counterfeit than the coin's value

If I had to guess, probably all come from some sort of template coin made by a single supplier or made by the same machine that has template designs.
