What do you want your money to look like?

€ Euro banknotes are getting a new look! The time has come to choose the theme for their future design, and we want YOU to have a say. Which theme should be selected?

📅 Complete the survey on by 31 August! → https://survey.ecb.europa.eu/euro-banknote-survey

@EU_Commission
I followed the link to see the possible designs.
The first page gave an arithmetic question (NOT math, that is a separate rant) to "prove I am human".
I proved I am human by leaving the page.

@EU_Commission Ideally, every would bear my portrait. I’d be wearing an impressive crown and a very dignified look. There would be no name, so nobody knows it’s me. People would be like: ‘Who IS this guy?’ and ‘The king?’ and ‘We don’t even have no bloody king!’ and ‘Hey, that’s a double negative!’ Sometimes people would recognise me and ask: ‘Hey, aren’t you the guy?’ ‘No’, I’d answer, ‘but I hear that a lot.’

@EU_Commission wird das dann so wie bei der Umfrage zur Abschaffung der Zeitumstellung? 🙃

@EU_Commission nice to be surveyed - however it’d be interesting to be able to say what you don’t like about ideas you do (somewhat) like.

Every idea has pro’s and con’s, and not sure the survey design uncovers them.

@EU_Commission Cash? That stuff you get from your grandparents on Christmas and becomes a chore to get into your bank account?
How about just discontinuing cash?

@EU_Commission the Head of the King of England (just to annoy the right people)

@EU_Commission I think it would be quite interesting if the banknotes incorporated some sort of material native to the country represented by the design, similar to how Canadian banknotes were rumoured to be maple scented.

@EU_Commission can we have a park bench on the 5€ note. I feel like an arch misrepresents the value of the note.

@EU_Commission How about showing the recent and potential future consequences of climate change. No?

@EU_Commission
Question: do old Euro banknotes ever become invalid / cease to be accepted as legal tender?

rayl,

@EU_Commission will they be plastic?

Yeah lads, let's redesign them again :-/

@EU_Com [email protected] Don't care what it looks like as long as you get an UBI working because of all the societal changes thanks to automation.
And start shortening the working hours. We 😎 😎 already in the future.

@EU_Commission Knowing the list of themes before filling out the survey would help you choose a favorite. You start voting and have no idea if the one you like enough is the best or the next one is even more interesting.

@EU_Commission Again? Surely they don't need another redesign, especially with the increasing prevalence of a cashless society nowadays...

Maybe spend the money ensuring EU-wide banking is up to scratch to ensure that contactless transactions are without a hitch and removing any hidden fees.

@EU_Commission -
You know that one of the benefits of is that EU-27 can stop using English now & speak in your native tongue? 😉 There is still Ireland, but you can speak Irish for them. 🇮🇪 💖 🇪🇺

Still, with the plunge in the value of £-sterling, I'd still rather be in the Eurozone right now. 🇪🇺

@EU_Commission A large part of the Europeans will hate the new banknotes no matter what. All Europeans will get used to them eventually.

@EU_Commission These themes are pretty bland and boring. However, one of them is "birds". In Italy, bird is an euphemism for penis. So, people of the EU, you know what to do: bird is the word.

@EU_Commission Why wasting money to "redesign"? The current cash is okay and easy to recognize.

The money can be used better.

@EU_Commission I just wish these were really MY banknotes.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my input. One small step towards regular referendums on European matters

@EU_Commission Colourful, flowers, animals, something like that. Not those old, boring buildings that don't even exist. And there can't be a dispute between countries about those, can it?

@EU_Commission the birds and rivers would be my favourite.

But more importantly.

🟢 Bright easily distinguished colours (keep the existing grey, red, blue, orange, green yellow but up the saturation slightly)

🟢 Tactile markers for the blind as an integral part of the design (put the value in Braille)

🟢 High security. Maybe polymer similar to current UK banknotes. With clear windows and maybe even holes in specific places

@EU_Commission Whatever you all come up with, it has to be better than our American money! We have the ugliest money on the planet. But it buys stuff, so I guess it's OK/
