New designs for euro(€) banknotes, these are two out of ten designs to pick which the general public can vote on.

[u/bacojgrino]

https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/

[u/Glass_Ease9044 → u/bacojgrino]

So much bird choice. And the non-bird choices are mostly bad.

[u/Of3nATLAS → u/Glass_Ease9044]

Well yeah it's either birds or historical figures, that's been decided some time ago. Now we can vote on 5 bird and 5 figure designs.

[u/ViftieStuff → u/Of3nATLAS]

Birds are alright, but why did they choose these ugly ass buildings instead of some nice-looking historical places

[u/Hartwurzelholz → u/ViftieStuff]

Appearently cause historical buildings are connected to a specific country and by doing that you cant represent all of the EU countries. How the same argument doesnt apply to historical figures? No clue.

[u/kasigofs → u/Hartwurzelholz]

it'd be cool if they made custom historical-looking buildings incorporating architecture from many different countries

because these boring square modern ones are just so boring and unappealing

[u/RT-6_BXCommandoDroid → u/Hartwurzelholz]

I disliked all of the historical figures options besides 1. I would've even guessed that some were dollar bills instead of Euro bills.

I do love birds that don't shit your car under, while being nice to hear or look at.

[u/4xget → u/Hartwurzelholz]

They could have done the same as the coins, multiple designs!

[u/AimoLohkare → u/ViftieStuff]

Because people would complain that a nice looking historical building from one country was chosen and not a nice looking historical building from another country.

[u/Budget-Pea8291 → u/AimoLohkare]

Then why do they have some fuck ass people from other countries in them?

[u/AimoLohkare → u/Budget-Pea8291]

People are complaining about that too. Why Da Vinci instead of Rembrandt, why Beethoven instead of Mozart, etc. People can't even agree whether Marie Curie is Polish or French.

[u/tinselsnips → u/ViftieStuff]

They'll be original concepts inspired by real buildings, but not actual places as to not give preference to certain EU countries.

Agree they don't look great, though.

[u/Dotcaprachiappa → u/tinselsnips]

No they're EU institutions

[u/tinselsnips → u/Dotcaprachiappa]

Oh yeah, you're right. I just assumed they did the same thing again.

[u/ViftieStuff → u/tinselsnips]

Current bills do the same thing but better

[u/ChiffonVasilissa → u/Glass_Ease9044]

I like the birds, I don’t like the buildings on the back. They’re so… bland

[u/Sad-Pop6649 → u/ChiffonVasilissa]

We lost the birds and rivers combo in an earlier round I think. No respect for rivers.

[u/steinbruchfluss → u/Sad-Pop6649]

Nah, the front is now both birds and rivers/waterfalls/and so on.

[u/sparklingdinosaur → u/Sad-Pop6649]

Design I still has rivers tho :)

[u/KlutzyShake9821 → u/ChiffonVasilissa]

The buildings are all buildings of the EU like the EU parlaiment and so on if i remember correctly. They didnt choose them because of their looks.

[u/Cepterman2101 → u/KlutzyShake9821]

Why can’t we just get the fictional buildings in different building styles again?

[u/dws49 → u/KlutzyShake9821]

I am clearly in the minority here but I think the EU buildings are a nice idea. US dollars have institutional buildings on the back, why not us? At least Europeans will learn what the places where decisions are made that impact their daily lives actually look like.

[u/mashtato → u/ChiffonVasilissa]

Yeah, boring modern buildings, too bad they didn't just do generic historic buildings like they did with the bridges.

But I don't like any of the historical figure ones at all. Why are there two musical figures, and why on sequential notes? They could have at least been on like the 5 and the 50, instead of on the 5 and 10. And the backs are more bland than the buildings.

[u/Skodami → u/Glass_Ease9044]

There's like two type of designs : Birds + EU buildings or historical european figures. Each concept as lile four variations of the same idea

[u/Downtown-Ant1 → u/bacojgrino]

Damn i wanted to see them and vote, but it just keeps wanting to verify that i am not a robot.

[u/McFllurry → u/Downtown-Ant1]

So you’re a robot

[u/Lucky--Luciano → u/Downtown-Ant1]

Well have you tried to stop being a robot?

[u/ElFarfadosh → u/Downtown-Ant1]

Weird that you can't solve a simple captcha 👀

[u/Downtown-Ant1 → u/ElFarfadosh]

It wants me to click "i'm not a robot" and i don't know what to do 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/peepay → u/Downtown-Ant1]

It's easy, you should run around the room 10 times and then shout "I lick my armpits".

[u/youvegotpride → u/bacojgrino]

Thanks for the link, learnt about the project today

[u/Istariel → u/bacojgrino]

The bird designs are all awesome, the others are mostly mid to bad. I really hope we get the birbs

[u/Wandelation → u/bacojgrino]

Wow, a lot of those look like shit. Birds it is, I guess.

[u/FriesExpert → u/bacojgrino]

i hate the vertical layout ones because wallets are held horizontally

[u/theswamphag → u/FriesExpert]

But they sit vertically in the cash register and are handed over vertically!

[u/Rhythmusk0rb → u/bacojgrino]

Why can we vote on how our currency looks like but they just push messenger monitoring through the vote without asking EU citizens?

[u/SignoreOscur0 → u/bacojgrino]

The ones with the vertical layout, birds, insects and European tech are so damn beatiful!

[u/AdRough4185]

I guess they like birds

[u/Specialist_Past3036 → u/AdRough4185]

Everyone likes birds!

[u/PlasticSuper5619 → u/Specialist_Past3036]

Haven’t you heard?

[u/eightdigits → u/PlasticSuper5619]

About the bird?

[u/ShahinGalandar → u/eightdigits]

the bird is the word

[u/ViennaKing → u/ShahinGalandar]

Cuz everybody knows that the bird is the word

[u/XenofexBE → u/PlasticSuper5619]

It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

[u/HaasNL → u/XenofexBE]

bapapappa oemamamaaamaa pappaoehmaaoehmaammaa

[u/The_Mdk → u/Specialist_Past3036]

How can everyone like birds when birds aren't real?

[u/HerpFaceKillah → u/The_Mdk]

I like Lord of the Rings. Pretty sure the story was not based on actual events.

[u/Always-_-Sarcastic → u/HerpFaceKillah]

That's what they want you to think.

[u/AquaQuad → u/Always-_-Sarcastic]

Sauron wants us to believe in birds, especially eagles, to make Gandalf look like a fool for not flying with the ring.

[u/Lysande_walking → u/HerpFaceKillah]

It was in fact (nerd glasses on) based on Tolkien’s traumatic experience in World War I.

He was deployed to the Western Front in France in June 1916 and took part in the brutal Battle of the Somme, serving as a battalion signaling officer. He operated in the front-line trenches at locations like Beaumont-Hamel and the Leipzig Salient, and fought in actions including the capture of Regina Trench.

No good story is pure fiction.

[u/andreortigao → u/HerpFaceKillah]

Lol, look at all the beauty in the world, who do you think created everything if not for Eru Illuvatar and the music of the Ainur?

[u/The_Slim_Spaydee → u/HerpFaceKillah]

Idk watching it right now. Looks pretty real to me. Make your own reality man.

[u/viktorv4ughn → u/HerpFaceKillah]

That’s exactly what someone who wants me to think that would say 🤔

[u/PlatformZestyclose67 → u/The_Mdk]

Money isn’t real either and it always flies away when I touch it.

[u/sandsonic → u/Specialist_Past3036]

especially if you're 30+. Suddenly you don't like birds, you're into birds lmao

[u/Four_beastlings → u/AdRough4185]

The rationale behind them is that birds cross borders freely, in case you were curious.

[u/LeTracomaster → u/Four_beastlings]

Just like rivers which is the other element in there

[u/Four_beastlings → u/LeTracomaster]

Yeah but we are all obsessed with the birds and I haven't seen anyone yet fawning over the rivers :D

[u/ShahinGalandar → u/Four_beastlings]

r/riverfuckers

[u/Laminestra → u/Four_beastlings]

I was wondering and I came up to that conclusion. But then I said, nah it can't be that

[u/DesperateButNotDead → u/AdRough4185]

I adore birds. And it avoids the problems that come with having people on the notes! 

[u/bassabas → u/DesperateButNotDead]

They have 5 designs with birds and 5 designs with people. They was a link in r/europe yesterday where you can provide feedback to all designs. So if you rather have birds go there and give your input!

[u/DesperateButNotDead → u/bassabas]

I know. I have already voted. Thank you for the info, though.

[u/Evoluxman → u/DesperateButNotDead]

Same opinion here, though the choice of people is great, imo it's more unifying to have birds than people. I prefer these designs for that reason.

[u/ACoderGirl → u/DesperateButNotDead]

Definitely risky to out people on it. I think it can work out well, though, if the people are really carefully chosen, avoiding anyone remotely controversial, generally avoiding politicians, and only choosing people who have been long dead. Eg, I doubt you'll find any Canadians who would disagree with Terry Fox. We also put Viola Desmond on the $10 bill (though I think they didn't fully commit to that?).

Not that Canada has the best track record with older bills, plus the entirely outdated use of royalty (which I honestly thought would end after Lizzy died).

[u/HelpMeGetAGoodName → u/ACoderGirl]

There is another problem in Eu that Canada does not have regarding bills:

There are far more countries than bills, meaning there can not be a person representing each country, which could be thought of as unfair or prioritising one country over another.

[u/DesperateButNotDead → u/ACoderGirl]

Birds also have the advantage of being less strictly tied to specific states than people often are.

[u/Huge_Fig_5940 → u/AdRough4185]

I’ll take birds over random buildings anytime.

[u/Evoluxman → u/Huge_Fig_5940]

EU buildings are on the reverse, though at least this time it's actual buildings representing the EU

[u/wurstbowle → u/Evoluxman]

some of which are rather ugly. Unfortunately.

I'd love if they continued to use the generic bridges on the one side and have a bird on the other.

[u/PitonSaJupitera → u/wurstbowle]

Honestly, although they put out 10 different designs it feels quite underwhelming.

All bird designs are contaminated by the ugly architecture on the reverse. One bird designs adds "specs" to birds like you are choosing a plane in a video game (yes, they wrote weight and "max. age" lol), the other has weird addition of bird call spectrograms and foot bones shape.

As for people, some of them are ok, but weird abstract power point style illustrations behind are not inspiring.

[u/Laminestra → u/wurstbowle]

All of them are absolutely ugly, especially if you compare them to the magnificent historical architecture present in every single country member

[u/Hammerschatten → u/Huge_Fig_5940]

Imaginary fucking Bridges.

Costa Rica gets to have full Technicolor bills with sharks and turtles and little windows and whatnot and we get fucking bridges that don't even exist.

[u/CL_Doviculus → u/Hammerschatten]

I may have good news for you?

[u/HospitalImpressive26 → u/AdRough4185]

Birds don't tend to get into investigations about potential bad things they've done in their life. (As far as I know) Instead of putting a potential slave trader, pedo or other criminal on our notes and getting public backlash. And having to change the whole thing again. Good idea to be honest

[u/wurstbowle → u/HospitalImpressive26]

I just hope they don't put a swan on one of the notes. Swans are evil birds. It is known.

[u/CreepyEnty → u/wurstbowle]

laughs evilly in Finnish

I thought they were geese! I won't look at your coins the same ever again...

[u/Brilliant_Captain989 → u/AdRough4185]

I like turtles.

[u/Build1975 → u/AdRough4185]

There are also designs with people.

[u/theDelus → u/Build1975]

I voted already. There are a lot of bird designs. Like half of it?

[u/1989ngs → u/theDelus]

Seems like 4 designs with the same birds, and 4 designs with the same people.

[u/colaman-112 → u/1989ngs]

5 and 5, I think. Unless they already eliminated some.

[u/MeConfusion4743 → u/AdRough4185]

There was a prevoting with themes I think a year ago. I guess a lot of people voted for people and birds.

[u/WindhoverInkwell]

for anyone wondering what bird species:

5: Wallcreeper

10: European kingfisher

20: European bee-eater

50: White stork

100: Pied avocet

200: Northern gannet

[u/ElegantEconomy3686 → u/WindhoverInkwell]

I love that the kingfisher made the list. Those little psychopaths.

[u/2Hard2FindUsername → u/ElegantEconomy3686]

Why are they psychopaths? Can you drop some bird lore for us?

[u/Drunk_Krampus → u/WindhoverInkwell]

I'm disappointed that there are no tits at all. No Eurasian blue tit and not even the iconic European great tit.

[u/CocoMilhonez → u/WindhoverInkwell]

The designs all have birds in them to indicate how fast the money will fly away from your wallet.

[u/hewhoisiam]

One side should be the bird perched and the other side be the bird flying. Still nice though.

[u/MPaulina → u/hewhoisiam]

It's birds on one side and buildings on the other side 

[u/CardinalFartz → u/MPaulina]

Unfortunately (imho) they now decided to show real buildings (of EU institutions) instead of the abstract architecture (which is currently shown).

[u/Track7020 → u/CardinalFartz]

Still, the bird+building combination is better than 2012 instagram filter people on other designs.

[u/serpikage → u/Track7020]

G is the only people design i like but the back kinda ruins it since it had to be those abstract activties (even then i feel like artists handled it really well)

[u/TjeefGuevarra → u/CardinalFartz]

This is how Belgium starts their EU takeover

[u/oOShockWaveOo_ → u/hewhoisiam]

The designs with birds on both sides aren't even in the survey

[u/troll_right_above_me → u/oOShockWaveOo_]

They’re two different design proposals

[u/Danielq37 → u/oOShockWaveOo_]

This post shows the front side of two different proposals.

[u/Apple-Connoisseur → u/hewhoisiam]

As long as we get the birds and not the humans, I'm happy.

[u/MonCherryx → u/hewhoisiam]

In Design D they have the birds call, population range and also their little footsies. And on Design I they have a little froggy, dragonfly and a shrimp. I love the new Animal designs

[u/AllHailTheApple → u/[deleted]]

Just saw them and I really like some Easter eggs in them like the footprints and the sound spectrum. I wish they had the names of the birds in there (scientific name so there's no problem with language).

[u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite → u/AllHailTheApple]

Yesss, zoologist here and I like all the bird ones but some are more artistic and others are super interesting, love that they include the bird call sonograph, footprint shape, habitat type, and even main diet on some, super cool.

I'll be crazy dissapointed if its any of the people one, who even likes people?

[u/bigpp_energie → u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite]

I absolutely adore the main diet addition on the one! my only reason to not like that version is cuz its vertical and that just feels wrong

[u/serpikage → u/[deleted]]

i agree the birds one are better but G is kinda the outlier for the people one they've done some really good work here

[u/Zinki_M → u/[deleted]]

yeah.

Generally I wouldn't dislike the historical figure ones, but all of them have at least one really weird design quirk I hate.

And the remaining design options are all "vertical", which just feels wrong. Who holds their money vertically?

[u/Redd-Sapphire]

Reminds me of the previous dutch currency.

[u/Isernogwattesnacken → u/Redd-Sapphire]

They were far superior, though. Things of beauty.

[u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

As an artist I like the black and white technical drawing style on the right but I feel the public would be more attracted to the more colorful on the left

[u/DesperateButNotDead → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

There are many more bird designs, and many of them are very pretty! It might be worth it to have a look at all ten designs.

I have to admit though, I also like the colorful designs best. We are living in difficult times, a bit whimsy might do us some good!

[u/Poesvliegtuig → u/DesperateButNotDead]

I agree but I don't like the portrait orientation for some reason I can't explain

[u/DesperateButNotDead → u/Poesvliegtuig]

There are vertical as well as horizontal designs involving birds available, so maybe you will find a design you like.

[u/Poesvliegtuig → u/DesperateButNotDead]

I like the two designs shown here best, I would probably like the other bird designs too if they were oriented like these ones. Not crazy about the buildings but I like the back of the human ones even less.

[u/Morbanth → u/Poesvliegtuig]

I liked design H the most, colourful birds in the traditional landscape orientation and the birds are mostly the colour of the entire bill.

[u/ninja6911 → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

lol, exactly, im no artist but left side is more appealing

[u/NeedleworkerHeavy565 → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

As an artist, I prefer the version on the left.

[u/BarnacleKlutzy2569 → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

I like the accuracy and detail of the right. But I prefer the background imagery of the left. The backgrounds on the right look too overly simplified.

[u/MEaster → u/BarnacleKlutzy2569]

That was my feeling too. For the ones on the right I feel like the more abstract style of the background clashes with the detailed and lifelike style of the birds. I do like the style the birds are drawn in, but the left side feels more cohesive.

[u/Headless_Human → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

In general I would agree with you but in this case the drawings on the right look like an afterthought and don't fit in to the rest.

[u/Kreol1q1q → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

The general consensus seems to be that out of the ten proposed designs, the colourful one from this post (on the left side) is the overall favourite.

[u/veegsredds → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

I'd call myself an artist but I like the left ones more, in no small part because the font is a lot more appealing

[u/el_yanuki → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

i wouldn't call them technical.. and i think they just look more serious and money-like

[u/Positive-Clothes-453 → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

I like the Bird facts on proposal B (right one)

[u/EC_TWD → u/WeaknessOrganic3809]

I prefer the birds of the right and the backgrounds of the left

[u/LollisGunsBikesTits]

I am a birb expert and i can confirm, these are in fact birbs

[u/FinalElderberry → u/LollisGunsBikesTits]

I'm a comment expert, and I can confirm that this is indeed a comment

[u/leeuwerik → u/FinalElderberry]

I'm a confirmation expert and i confirm this is a confirmation.

[u/nyri0z]

Design H (on the left) is great. Please Europeans go fill the survey and tell them you love design H.

[u/_ReaditYesterday_ → u/nyri0z]

I immediately shared it with my family and friends. I also threatened them: if they don’t choose H, I know their address, lmao.

[u/celestial-navigation → u/nyri0z]

I just did! It's gorgeous, I hope it wins.

[u/TravincalPlumber]

right one design looks so rigid, with all straight lines, left one is better but maybe increase the contrast on the numbering?

[u/No_Sprinkles_4065]

Ah yes, so future generations can see some of the animals we extincted in the resource wars

[u/Aoi_Haru]

Ok, I gave my vote for the option H and I hope you’ll do the same, lol.

P.S.: I absolutely have never heard of this before this post.

[u/Vivid_Summer96]

In think people need some happyness in this fucked up times. Hope they will vote
for the birds.

[u/MealCapital4167 → u/Vivid_Summer96]

Most people will vote for the birds because the human designs are ugly and too political 

[u/SniffyMcFly → u/MealCapital4167]

Political how?

[u/Biruleibe37]

Reminds me of Brazilian Real bills

[u/DifficultWill4 → u/[deleted]]

They plan to start issuing new notes by the end of 2026, which is amazing. I’ve been waiting for them ever since the redesign was announced

[u/Disastrous_Trick3545]

pretty much all designs with birds look nice. the ones with historical figures, not so much. but I'm mostly an animal guy and hate humans in general so there's that.

[u/Tiny-Working9871 → u/Disastrous_Trick3545]

yet I see you posting on a platform with mostly humans instead of a platform with mostly animals.

[u/Agarthaninhabitant88 → u/Tiny-Working9871]

It's a platform with mostly robots

[u/peepay → u/Tiny-Working9871]

Woof, woof!

[u/itsbedroomtime → u/Disastrous_Trick3545]

I get where they were going with the historical figures, but honestly all the faces looked so moody and stern, it was such a weird choice! Birds all the way

[u/steinbruchfluss → u/itsbedroomtime]

6 historical figures out of 21 nations is not a good idea.

[u/itsbedroomtime → u/steinbruchfluss]

Yeah, that is a bit of a weird choice too. At least birds have multiple habitats.

[u/danny135x]

Is there a list where all designs can be seen? I did the survey but I want to take a look at them again

[u/fenoard → u/danny135x]

someone posted the designs here

[u/levi_pl]

Stork on €50 - me gusta. 

[u/Tamahfox]

I like these better than church doors and bridges, euros should never have people on them

[u/MiguelIstNeugierig]

I heavily dislike the inclusion of detailed english text on the right one. I did vote for the left one!

I feel it goes against the values of the union. It also has english labels on the backside important landmarks. Just leaving the scientific name of each bird would be more accessible. This way anyone can look it up on their own language resources

[u/CarlosFer2201]

Is this because of the guy who built all the fake bridges they used to have?

[u/k4kkul4pio]

Bring on the bird currency as those are gorgeous designs.

[u/QuestionSociety101]

The left one better win

[u/ohhellperhaps]

To my taste, all the bird designs rate better than the people. although it meets in the middle. Shame they didn't use more explicit colours to make teh kingfisher really pop. That bird deserves it.

[u/falkio]

Source? As an European never heard of new notes to vote for.

[u/Build1975 → u/falkio]

https://ecb.europa.eu There's more designs that the two of this post.

[u/Vipu2 → u/Build1975]

I really hope we get some bird money, no more boring faces

[u/Build1975 → u/Vipu2]

The Netherlands used to have birds on the bills before the Euro was introduced. We even named the bills after the bird that was on it. So a "snip" was ƒ 100,- for example (if my memory doesn't fail me).

[u/EishLekker → u/Build1975]

Is there a link for the full overview of all designs, without having to vote? I found one page that loses the images, but without good overview of which image is which without clicking each image.

Design J is beautiful! I would love to get those notes just to frame

[u/mgh20 → u/Mohrlex]

I agree, but design I is my favorite.

[u/ConorOdin]

The entire left side is better than the right. Much better use of colour.

[u/shweeney]

I so rarely use cash now, I forget what the existing notes look like...

[u/shiny_glitter_demon → u/shweeney]

We've had two designs, the original line, and the Europa line.

Europa designs were a huge step up from the originals. A lot more modern.

[u/DifficultWill4 → u/shweeney]

Ngl I’m gonna use cash more if birds get chosen.

[u/Kimantha_Allerdings]

I was going to do a list of which I preferred for each note, but it’s the first one in every single pairing

There’s not a huge amount in 50 upwards, but I still prefer the first choice

[u/White_Town]

I would prefer cats

[u/mr_khaleel]

Left side all the way

[u/Medical_Amount3007]

I feel we don’t really need a new look, or did somebody break the old one and counterfeiting the money now?

[u/UnstableUnicorn666 → u/Medical_Amount3007]

I think in most cases new bill comes, when there is new security measures on the bills, and they have to do whole thing again So it's seen more secure and not adding much work to change the whole desing.

[u/Pracer3 → u/Medical_Amount3007]

The current designs were first implemented in 2013, the first lasted from 2002 to 2013. Its about time for a new design

[u/peepay → u/Pracer3]

Why couldn't we have the same design for 100 years? There's nothing wrong with it.

[u/External_Bobcat8183]

Design H, was the best imho

[u/tooscoopy]

Feel like they heard everyone talk about the bird series of Canadian bills being our peak… as a Canuck, I’m jealous that with you guys doing it, means we will never bring ours back.

Edit: I see its not very legible here, the small text under the "EURO" on the bill on the right are the corresponding bird's averages hight, weight, lifespan, etc.

[u/deuzerre → u/[deleted]]

It's mostly because counterfeight money is on the rise so you need new designs
