Ich_iel had this

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

Makes sense, since money also isn’t real.

Birds > people

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

Eels said it best: "I like birds"

And most of the bird designs had buildings 😢

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.

First country to do dinosaurs get me as a citizen.

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

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

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.

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

Belarus had these in nineties: https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/postalovsky_a/32225144/1739419/1739419_900.jpg

We did our part for the birds <3

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.

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

I also hope 1 of the bird designs wins

No penguins? Speciesism, that's what it is.

I know I'm commenting on a bird community. But I don't want all the notes to have birds & buildings.

The other design is much worse though.

There's really only 2 options: birds and select few people. Why though? What's wrong with the current notes? Can't we have more than 2 options? I hate both of them.

Done. I feel bad saying I hate the other designs, but I am sure they're going to grade these scaled.

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...

That's so beautiful, my father love birds and is a numismatic, too bad we aren't european and euro is very expensive to obtain here

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

They don't want ugly green enslavers?

If I was making a constitution I would have something in it that nothing can be named after people or use their images related to governement. Even if they are dead 100 years. legacy and monument thing should be avoided. leave historians to write the history and leave it at that.

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

Europe still has birds?

Putting them on money before capitalism drives them extinct seems a bit macabre to me. I'm surprised they even bother to redesign the 200€ bill. Because well you know, it virtually doesn't exist.

Most of them are ugly as fuck

And the important stuff they ram down our throats
