Kingfisher vs. Da Vinci: Europeans Vote on First Euro Banknote Redesign Since 2002

The European Central Bank has released a shortlist of ten potential designs for a new series of euro banknotes, marking the first complete redesign since the currency launched in 2002. The proposals split into two broad themes: a nature motif featuring a kingfisher, and a cultural theme inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. Europeans are now being invited to vote on their preferred design.
