ECB unveils design proposals for next‑generation euro banknotes

The European Central Bank has released a set of design proposals for upcoming euro banknotes. The proposals showcase updated visual elements and security features. They aim to modernize the appearance of the euro while preserving recognizability. The designs incorporate new holographic and tactile elements to deter counterfeiting.
