      There’s a reason the architectural features on the current banknotes were made to be as generic as possible. Therefore, the faces should also not be recognizable. „Random composer with messy hair looking angsty“ or „old dude with long beard holding a pencil“ please. Otherwise it’s a recipe for disaster.

      Bad idea. Too much to choose from and there will always be angry dissatisfied disappointed countries.

      Stick to common themes like bridges and windows that actually are logical and unique and generic at the same time

      yea no.. that’s how you start a fight…..

      maybe if you did as for coins, where each country can put what they want on it, but then you might make forge detection harder, as people are often handed banknotes they are not familiar with

      Frankly I’m surprised it’s not already a thing, would have figured it was by now.

      I already carry a pen on me, basically at all times, so : >:3 on every bill it’s gonna be, just like I would do on any other note with a face on it.

      It would work if they did it like coins, and countries could decide their motifs. Otherwise, there will be bickering about who and who wasn’t included.

      Personally, I believe animals would be a better choice.

      Everybody likes rabbits and foxes and such.

      I don’t know.

      I prefer the old ones, they where unique in their simplicity.

      This style is equal to the other banknotes style around the world, so a little bit boring compared to current notes.

      I think it would be cool to have each country have it’s own design, like the coins.
      Another option is to have a unified design and have a portrait section for a person.
      I like the idea of opening my wallet and having explicitly French, Spanish and Bulgarian bills all together with equal purchasing power

      Bad idea.  How will they represent so many countries with so few banknotes ;

    18. altpirate on

      Nah I don’t like them. To me this just looks archaic and it’s bound to cause division over who gets included and who doesn’t. Instead of individual people maybe choose more symbolic depictions of culture and science if that’s the theme you’re going for.

      So instead of Leonardo da Vincis face, have one of his drawings on there. Like his flying machine, that would be great. Instead of Marie Curie maybe a stylized depiction of an atom like the Atomium. Stuff like that.

      If the ECB no longer wants generic pictures, they should maybe better choose a theme for which countries won’t fight to be represented on a bank note. Famous futile battles between European brother countries where no side won but everybody lost, buildings have closed due to poor construction, a best of compilation of war criminals, portraits of authors of European languages that have already gone extinct… I’m open for your suggestions along these lines.

      But seriously, even the Swiss National Bank has switched to generic themes because it’s too hard not to offend anybody. And Switzerland is a single country.

      Here’s a better idea if you want people on your banknotes so badly: Multiple designs for each banknote, for each character. Too expensive? Just don’t put people on the banknote.

    23. tremblt_ on

      I kind of like the idea but it will always be controversial. There are a ton of people you could not choose:

      1. No politicians

      2. No military leaders

      3. Nobody who served time in prison

      4. In general: no controversial people

      5. Probably no people who were born or from a Eurozone country but whose contributions happened outside of Europe.

      6. Only one person from one specific country.

      7. Dead people only.

      It won’t help that they would need to be well known and for some countries of the Eurozone (like Malta) there aren’t too many options.

    28. _qqg on

      Uh, no. These people contributed to art and science which are by definition universal, but were citizens of just a few nations of the union (well, there are six denominations and many more nations who would be left out). As non-descript as ‚architectural styles through history‘ are, at least they don’t make anyone unhappy.

      What’s the second proposal?

    33. DivideSensitive on

      Graphically they suck, the mix’n match of portraits in painting or photo, and in many different styles, just looks like some middle-schooler art project, without any coherence.

      Second, there are too many countries and not enough notes to make everyone happy.

      Alternative is birds.. the things that don’t see borders and can be seen across all of Europe. All this is really missing is the Italian inventor Tesla.
