ECB online survey: Have your say on the design of new euro banknotes
What will the euro banknotes look like in the future? The European Central Bank has published drafts and is asking citizens for their opinion. But it's not just about a new design.
The European Central Bank (ECB) is conducting an online survey on the design of new Euro banknotes, with over 9 million people already participating. The survey, which ends on September 21, will inform the ECB's final decision on the design, expected to be made in late 2026. The new banknotes will feature either famous Europeans, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Marie Curie, or European natural ecosystems, including birds like the White Stork and the Kingfisher.
The new notes will also include enhanced security features to prevent counterfeiting and be designed to be more durable and accessible for people with visual impairments.
