ECB opens public vote on 10 shortlisted euro banknote designs
Ok, European friends, the ECB is going to redesign the Euro banknotes and are doing a survey to see what design europeans like the most. YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE BIRD ONES!! LET US HAVE LITTLE BIRDS IN OUR MONEY. There are many designs to choose from as well: surveys.ecb.europa.eu/lng/en/pageT...
You can see all the proposals on this website. My favorite is def Design H, by Atelier Goppel-Toperngpong: www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...
All these redesign options feature either birds (the wallcreeper, the kingfisher, the bee-eater, the white stork, the avocet, and the northern gannet), or famous european people like Beethoven or Marie Curie. And listen, I like Beethoven's music, but please, we need birb money!!
Birds aren't beholden to any one nation's identity so the choice of them is wildly nicer than the people bills.
non-EU, but I like it. Especially after "these notes are symbolic bridges, not real ones" "dutch guy builds park with all the euro note bridges in" www.atlasobscura.com/places/euro-...
Will this make people use physical currency again? (In my case, I think so)
Oh those are GORGEOUS!! Birds in Europe! Little critters in the UK! Expunge all humans from currency!!
All EU people: it is imperative you VOTE FOR THE BIRD MONEY
Heck yeah I voted for EU bird design money
tbh I think every country should have animals and nature on their bank notes, cant go wrong there!!!
Käykääs äänestämässä lintuja uusiin euroihin.
Äänestäkää lintuja uusiin euroseteleihin! ✨ Kissatyttö vaatii :3 surveys.ecb.europa.eu/lng/en/pageT...
I'll vote when they put out a Guillotine design. How about @misufany.bsky.social guillotine-chan ?
Nach uns kommende HistorikerInnen werden sicher wilde Theorien haben, warum wir in einer Zeit, wo wir massiv die Natur zerstören, Bilder ausgerotteter Arten auf Kultgegenstände haben drucken lassen, die essentielle Objekte jener Religion sind, die diese Zerstörung befördert hat.
I wish I was able to vote, but if you can, H is my absolute favorite one. Please?
look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power
Love the birds of most design but these huge lifeless buildings give me nausea :( Why can't we get birds and the nice arts/culture locations with actual people?
What will the next euro banknotes look like? 🇪🇺💶 @ecb.europa.eu has shortlisted 10 designs, selected from over 1,200 proposals by graphic designers across Europe. Now it's your turn to pick your favourite. 👇 surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/ *Survey available in the 24 EU languages.
Please birds! Please birds! We're tired of people
No birds, lets show off a few European legends and be proud 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Some of those proposals that feature birds look really good
The notes should remain as abstract as possible. Certainly there should be no people on them. They belong to all the peoples of the EU, not just those select few nations with buildings or celebrities on them. Nothing on these new designs is relatable to Malta. The new designs are divisive 🥺💔🇲🇹🇪🇺
We all agree on the bird design in the comments i see! Nature is the future!
And here's an overview: bsky.app/profile/ther...
I'm confused. Where is @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu or @kajakallas.bsky.social? Are we not supposed to put alive and at power leaders on our money? And what's with this voting business, seems communism?
I have some pitches on what should be included
Voted all birdies 🐤🐦 <3
I don't really mind whether it is birds or people for the new euro bills but those 2 designs which are portrait-mode bills are evoking very strong opinions in me. What's next after that? Instagram-style square bills?
Wiadomo, że ptaki >>>> ludzie.
if you look closeley, several of the proposed designs have a bxl landmark on the 100 euro note.... 🥰
I took the survey to say birds are better than overwhelming whiteness!
Birds on the € notes!? You can make it happen! 🐦✨ Vote now for your favourite design! www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot... The European Central Bank is redesigning the euro banknotes and is asking the public for feedback. And one of the themes is birds and rivers...😈
On en parlait il y a quelques mois dans le Courrier de la Sterne : si vous voulez mettre un peu d'oiseaux et de vie sur vos billets de banque, vous pouvez voter pour cela dès à présent ❤️
J'aime bien Maria Callas mais pas au point d'avoir 10 photos d'elle dans mon porte monnaie merci d'avance
Kupodivu mohou hlasovat i Češi, i když nejsme v eurozóně. Třeba se to povede a Evropa bude mít krásné ptačí bankovky.
Votez pour les oiseaux ! C'est important !
oooh i LOVE the vertical ones like A LOT
J'ai voté pour tous les oiseaux
Don't miss it: the European Central Bank is letting citizens vote on the next design of the euro banknotes. My pick from the 10 shortlisted designs is G series by Rubio & co Cast your vote 👉 www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot... #Europe #EuroBanknotes #ECB
An don‘t miss to vote for nature and birds
the bird be like 🤨
fuck humans, vote for birbs
F or J in my case. Don't know which one 🤔
I personally like a lot the vertical notes, more than the horizontal ones. As we use them more and more for automated systems, it does stand the same way one would introduce them. Same as some debit cards banks provide, which are also vertically designed, and feel more interesting.
I went for the stunning and innovative design by Jan Robert Dünnweller (F). I also like the birds, but they seem to come with EU institutions ;)
Stimmt für die Vögel, sie sind sehr niedlich.
So many nice designs to choose from 👇🗳️
Kommt überraschend und ich muss sagen dass ich bis auf B alle Designs mit den süßen Vögeln ziemlich nice finde. Abgesehen davon find ich es irgendwie unpassend jetzt auf einmal Menschen abbilden zu wollen obwohl man sich ja ursprünglich aus Gründen explizit dagegen entschieden hat.
Cast your vote. I think series E or H are nicest
🇪🇺💶 The European Central Bank has presented 10 design options for the new euro banknotes. Eurozone citizens can vote on the options until September 21, after which the Governing Council will make a final decision "around the end of the year."
Never notice this type of news - but fun to know and vote!
Wish we could do that in the US.
It was so cool we just had the different architectural epochs there. No stupid discussion about which persons should be presented. Just leave them as they are.
So we can vote on that, but not on chat control, expenses or other important ?
Folks!!! You can vote on various designs for the new euro banknotes and some of these look amazing. Also, we could make birb money happen!!!
After having seen all of them I’d end up so pissed if one of the obviously inferior designs gets picked lolsob
Back in the 80s Canada had a series of bills with birds on them and I absolutely adored them, I hope you get bird money!
I love most of the bird notes, but I'm a bit disappointed that all of the species are super rare where I live (there are like 30 pairs of kingfishers in all of Finland). Why not pigeons, or common gulls?!
I don’t understand why anyone would choose the dead famous Europeans. My daughter did the survey and there’s a clear binary distribution.
I think the best design is by a Finnish designer / comic artist Ville who lives 1.5km from my home
We can vote for the new Euro banknotes designs! There are several design series, one set features iconic European cultural figures like Callas, Marie Curie and Da Vinci, and one set has birds - which is also nice. Vote here: www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...
I found the different orientation of some of the designs—-lomg way up, so to speak, or what would be Portrait in printer settings—surprising. Can’t quite decide whether I like it or not.
Get fury from the Daily Express and coordinate banknote design between £ and € 🦫
Couldn't we have images of the actual bridges on the Dutch housing estate, that were inspired by the generic bridges on previous euro notes? Kind of full circle? Failing that, birds. Cause they don't really do borders?
Took some time but I think prefer the I frontside with the J backside. Sun on the front, shadow in the back.
Y'all need to vote for one of the bird themes! Are current euro bills a mix between portrait and landscape orientations? I don't recall seeing vertical paper bills.
Cashless economy update: the original Euro banknotes had made up buildings that looked like they could be somewhere in Europe but didn’t actually exist anywhere. Avoided favouring certain states. But for the new designs they feel emboldened to show images, like historic people, from certain states.
EU replaying the symbolic dramas of postcolonial states
Feels like a sign of how much less important cash is to people nowadays.
Hope they go with one of the sets with the birds, though if they had crows, seagulls, pigeons, and sparrows they would be more relatable to most people. More seriously, good to highlight less well known species.
Did you read about the place that built all the bridges shown on the banknotes?
