The ECB presented two new euro banknotes

add to Favorites

On May 28, 2019, two new euro banknotes in denominations of 100 and 200 will come into circulation. What will they look like and, apart from the visual change, is there any more?

Europa series

The series of euro banknotes called "Europa" entered into force a few years ago and new denominations were introduced successively, bearing its distinctive features. It bears this name because two of the security features used in them represent the porter of Europe. It is a character from Greek mythology. Where did this choice come from? First of all, it is associated with the name of our continent, and secondly, the figure of Europe takes on a human dimension.

Two new euro banknotes

All denominations, except 100 and 200, have long since been issued in a new and safer version. The last two banknotes, which will have their premiere on May 28, 2019, have new security features. Each denomination in the Europa series has a modernized emerald number, but the latter also feature the Euro symbol in the denomination.

Size and appearance

The new € 100 and € 200 differ in size from the previous version. Currently, their amount is 50 euros. The width of the banknote has not changed and still remains the same, and the relationship, i.e. the higher the denomination, the greater the width, has not changed either. The unification of the height of the banknotes will allow for greater user comfort. The denominations will easily fit in the devices receiving them. In addition, the banknotes will not protrude outside the wallet and will not be damaged as much.

Security

The appearance and comfort of use are not the most important issues in the creation of new banknotes. During the presentation of the new denominations, the European Central Bank and its board member, Yves Merch, emphasized that the new banknotes are perfectly protected against counterfeiters. They have machine-readable security features that are not visible to the naked eye, and new changes have been added that will be much more resistant to counterfeiting.
