The design of euro banknotes will change for the first time in 23 years.

Впервые за 23 года изменится дизайн евро банкнот.

The update aims to make banknotes more appealing and understandable. Currently, they feature nameless bridges and windows. Designers can choose from two alternative sets of motifs: European culture or a blend of rivers, birds, and European institutions.

In the first case, the faces of the six denominations of euro banknotes will showcase notable Europeans.

In ascending order of denomination: Greek opera singer Maria Callas, Beethoven, Polish-French scientist Marie Curie, Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, and Austrian peace movement activist Bertha von Suttner.
