I guess the readability on the new set is way better. The bills have always been pretty much whatever for me though, I like the coins though. Especially the 1 and 2 euro ones.
Over here in America just jealous of colorful money.
I wish we have euro.
But on the other hand, both have boring design.
I have vary strong bias, see how polish currency notes look.
Yeah, Polish currency looks pretty dope
New!
I like the newer version more but to be honest the euro is still a very boring looking currency.
I like yuan more
50 needed an update I wish they would have went with negative space numbers and not just shifted then into the center. Imagine a "white" number in the upper right. ☯️
I just wish we could adopt the plastic material like Australia and Canada
ich vermiss den heiermann...
i think i like the new version of all but 5 most, that's the only one where the illustration doesn't blend into the background properly.
Also the way the arch on the tenner is cut off halway is strange
The Euro notes look like what you'd get if you asked for prop banknotes for a minor scwne in a nwar-future sci-fi movie. The basic design elements are there to give the general look of currency, but something always seemed missing.
I think it's the lack of text-- most banknotes have a big, prominent issuing authority name rather than the tiny copyright line of abbreviations, and often some flowery "I promise to pay on demand" legal language leftover from when the note was a stand-in for a stack of silver coins.
i feel like you get this impression just because they're colourful, which like.. monopoly money is colourful because that makes it super easy for people with full vision to tell them apart, and as it turns out that's useful for actual legal tender as well :O
I don't think text makes any sense. As you can see, we have three ways of writing "euro".
I think it's more about "does it fulfill the tropes paper money has established." It's like how many of the new electric cars look slightly off because they've removed design features (i. e. grilles with obvious air intakes) that are established in cars already.
Interestingly, Soviet banknotes up to the 1961 series would print the denomination in over ten different languages.
I also like that all the four were signed by the same guy (Trichet?), while the new one are Draghi Lagarde Draghi Lagarde
Old. Back then they had real people as motives instead of imaginary ugly buildings.
