9 Million Votes Cast for New Euro Banknote Designs, Final Day Today
European citizens have until Monday to vote for their preferred new euro banknote designs, with approximately nine million votes already submitted. The European Central Bank (ECB) selected ten designs across two themes: European culture featuring figures like Ludwig van Beethoven and Marie Curie, and landscapes depicting rivers and birds. A studio from Amsterdam contributed one design within the cultural theme. Although public opinion will be considered, the ECB retains final decision-making authority and is expected to choose a design by year-end, with new notes likely entering circulation several years later.
