Just seen this. They obviously have learnt nothing from the UK's 50p coin, with 7 meshed cogs.
The three cogs on the left all mesh with each other so will not turn.
The cogs on the right are meshed with wheels without teeth.
The EU obviously needs engineers more than innovators.

@Extelec I think we need both; this is bad engineering AND copied.

@Extelec And those are clearly roller chain sprockets that shouldn't be meshing with each other in the first place!

@Extelec It's okay, just bad perspective. (Teeth not modeled because this joke isn't worth the effort)

@Extelec 🤦♂️ there is all sorts of wierd perspective going on too. different gears have different 'drop shadow' depth, or not... AI slop, surely? did no-one even spend 5 minutes checking this rubbish? sad.
