New money for Europe
The euro money gets a new look. The European Central Bank tells this today. The new bills come in the year 2030. People work on the design now.
Almost 10 million people help in a vote. They pick the look of the bills. Austria has many votes. Over 470,000 people from Austria say their wish. This is a top value in Europe.
Ideas for the new pictures
There are 2 main ideas for the pictures. The first idea is 'European culture'. People see famous persons like Ludwig van Beethoven. Marie Curie and Leonardo Da Vinci are planed as pictures too. On the back side people see singer feasts.
The second idea is 'Rivers and birds'. Nature and earth are important here. People show birds like the kingfisher or the stork. On the back side people see houses from Europe. The parliament and the commission of the European Union belong to it.
Safety and earth
The new bills become safer. Special security features protect against fake money. Criminals can copy the bills bad. The banknoten hold longer. This helps the earth at the work.
Blind people can feel the bills good. People change the bills extra for it. The euro is the money for 358 million people. People use it in 21 countries as money.
