As I mentioned elsewhere, it's kinda strange they didn't learn the lesson from Euro coins and did multiple versions of each banknote to cover and represent every member state with at least one person.
- hobofan 3mo agoWith the amount of security mechanisms in a banknote that have to be tailed to each design, I would assume that making that many variants would be financially irresponsible.
- izacus 3mo agoWould actually cost more than something like having 27 translators in each major meeting?
- dsr_ 3mo agoNo, just leave a blank space in the middle that has nothing to do with the denomination and is there just to be interesting. Print something new in it for each member; issue half of them in odd years and half in even. Hold contests.
- euroderf 3mo agoBut then perhaps your photocopiers would need constant updates - to do the usual banknote detection and refusal to copy ?

- kiliankoe 3mo agoAs someone with the detection mechanism tatooed on their arm, I can tell you this is not based on the visual design of the entire note, but on a small constellation of five rings, the so called EURion constellation [0]. It's also used by other bank notes around the world, inlcuding the Yen and US Dollar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation
