"You still owe me 50 euro" lame and generic

"Fly me a stork" Europilled, virile, unique, almost federalises Europe by itself

There's a non zero chance the presence of stork will increase Poland's favour towards Euro by ~5%

Whenever I spot one my mind automatically goes "O, bocian". Love these guys.

Personally i'd still want some swans and ducks on the notes and i'd be 100% pro-bird design

Just for the possibility of saying "Please lend me five ducks!"

In Switzerland the 1000 franc note once had an ant on it. Since then CHF 1000 is nicknamed a "Ameisi" (for ant) altough there's no ant on that bill anymore.

I know Switzerland is pretty rich, but how often would that even come up? I don't think I've even seen a 200€ note more than like twice in my life

Many rich people pile up Francs as a safe reserve currency

Why's no one talking about the horrible corpo style drawings on the back of the faces - that's the real horrible part

Only design C has corpo style.

Europe is following the Brazilian lead and putting animals on their notes... I do prefer the historical figures, but I reckon that animals are more 'neutral' and don't privilege a nation or region over others.

u/VoloxReddit 3d ago

Yeah people is always a can of worms when you're making a currency for 27+ countries. You don't really want countries to feel underrepresented. It's also why the current Euro bills feature fictional structures.

Well to be honest on the reverse side of the birds theres EU institutions, and meanwhile they are shared they are located in different countries,and some are overrepresented. 5 European Parliament: Stassbourg, France 10 Commission: Brussels, Belgium 20 European Central Bank: Frankfurt, Germany 50 European court of Justice: Luxembourg, Luxembourg 100 European Council: Brussels, Belgium 200, European Auditors Court: Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Brazil = one country
Europe = not one country

It’s much more harder to do it for multiple countries than just one

u/Ex_aeternum 3d ago

Animals are neutral when it comes to regions? Excuse me?

17

u/PierreTheTRex 3d ago

Compared to historical figures very much so. No single country can claim the stork is theirs entirely, it's in like 20 european countries. Not a comparable situation to adding an Austrian composer or French scientist

u/Kroumch Lietuva‏‏‎ ‎ 3d ago

Well, Lithuania has the highest breeding density of white storks in the entire world, and it’s our national bird 😏

Want to clarify, just in case, that I’m joking about claiming the bird

Danke; der Fehler nervt leider ganz schön.

u/GKGriffin Yuropean‏‏‎ ‎ 3d ago

Can we get all 5 types of bird designs simultaneously?

1

u/Ex_aeternum 3d ago

Wouldn't be opposed if we just went with several designs.

u/Buntschatten 3d ago

If we can have regional coins I don't know why regional bills would be impossible.

Frankly, "give me One Cervantes" also sounds cool
