      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.

      Sadly Im too poor to see Leonardo da Vinci or Bertha von Suttner

      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

      RIP €500 bill. Not that I’ve seen him around much

      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.

      What about scientists/artists claimed by multiple countries – like Marie Curie or Chopin

    22. HunterThin870 on

      I dont recognize most of these. Maybe more widely known europeans like Gaius Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Copernicus

    23. morbihann on

      No.

      We do the fictional bridges.

      Or at worst, some mountains or trees.

    24. Silver_Atractic on

      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.

    25. Tortenkopf on

      I think it’s better than those bridges and windows; those have nothing going for them except not insulting anyone, which is kinda sad.

      But, I don’t really like the different styles of these portraits; it makes them look unintentional. Whatever pictures are put on them would look better if they are new designs in a unified style. I understand that may also piss off some people but if we really consider that blocking than we should stick to fake bridges.

      Personally I think it would make more sense to have stuff depicted that is more universally European or cross-border. Like animals or plants or geographical features that appear in multiple countries (a fox, the alps..); at least we can then pick some things that show relatively little favouritism while still having something *actually European* on the notes.
