Ich_iel had this

It’s weird how they want faces now when the bridges on the current notes are specifically chosen to be fantasy bridges so they are nationally ambiguous. Also don’t see why Maria Callas deserves a spot as if she had such an important impact on European history. It’s like putting DJ Tiësto on the notes in 50 years.

The birds are the better choice.

I much prefer the birds over the people =w=

I mean, most of the people on there have 0 relevancy to my country, and I imagine it's not an uncommon sentiment elsewhere. Birds at least don't exclude a bunch of countries

I also quite like the vertical/portrait orientation designs in there, I think it would be a cool change

I like the birds, never been a fan of the faces on the bills.

Birds > people

Putting actual people on banknotes... Have we learned nothing from metoo? WTF?!

Eels said it best: "I like birds"

Makes sense, since money also isn’t real.

I don't think any person deserves to be on the bills. The birds absolutely do !

I wish they weren't systematically paired with horrifyingly bad architecture on the reverse, but I'll take what I can get...

I love design D with the recording and spectrograph of the bird calls as anti-copy measures.

Im not even that big on birds but the bird designs are so much better than the people ones and also in general i dont think people on banknotes are that good of an idea. Birds on the other hand are something we can all relate to and should think about more cause many species are in danger.

We like the birds ones but the buildings on the back felt weird, so were leaning towards the ones with people and cultures

First country to do dinosaurs get me as a citizen.

I love how many of these designs are clearly influenced by the old Dutch Guilders bank note designs. See this for a documentary about it on YouTube.

I wish they had different animals. Like birds for the 5€ (light), bears for the 200€ (heavy), and different animals in between.

And for the back famous art paintings.

And most of the bird designs had buildings 😢

These ones are fire, but its a bit weird to have an American born woman in the euro notes.

The downside is that there would be buildings on the other side of the bank notes.

stylistically, some of them are really pretty, some of them are really ugly.

as others have said, i think people are a bad idea, unless they have all kinds of local or special editions like with coins.

i think birds are kinda cool. not sure why only birds as animals, and not other animals too. i would have also liked trees or other plants, or even mushrooms. but oh well.

i don't like having people on bank notes because it is really hard to pick which ones are inportant, and you can't choose enough of them, many people will get left out. also, i don't like the idea of worshipping people.

If Canada joins the EU, the noble Turkey can appear on the $1 euro note.

I also hope 1 of the bird designs wins

Boobies, Great Tits, Bushtits, Dickcissel, Cock-of-the-rock. There are so many options!
