People in the eurozone area have until the end of August to help choose a theme for the next generation of euro banknotes, as the European Central Bank prepares to revamp single currency for the first time in 20 years. (Euro banknotes are due to get a new look, as the European Central Bank prepares to overhaul their famously dull design.) The bank launched an online survey this week to get Europeans' views on seven potential themes for the new notes, which aren't expected to enter circulation until after 2026.
The choices include birds, rivers and culture, as well as more abstract ideas: "European values mirrored in nature", "Our Europe, ourselves" and "The future is yours". The final theme on the shortlist is hands, symbolising "all the people who have created Europe".

Some ideas, IMHO, should include: Constantine the Great, Charlemagne, Queen Isabella I of Castile with King Ferdinand II of Aragon, Peter the Great, and especially Jan Sobieski.

Might as well put an Islamic crescent with a picture of a mosque.

How about just reflecting on the natural or man-made beauty that exists in Europe. Even the South Africans figured out how to do this
And the irony of the Rhino theme is duly noted.

Europe continues to ignore its serious energy problem and its uber-serious Muslim problem. So here’s my suggestion for their banknotes:

Excellent ideas!
Unfortunately, they will probably go with the 6-color rainbow...

Kennedy on the $20 but the others stay the same? Into the trash that suggestion goes.

Your bucket, not mine.
I’m not talking about the JFK phenomena created by the Mockingbird eneMedia.
What I am talking about is the JFK that wanted to shred the CIA into a thousand pieces and throw it into the winds, the JFK that wanted to issue Constitutional Money circumventing the FED.

How about a hammer and sickle theme. And at least one with George Orwell.

Perhaps something incorporating these images!
Good News! Note the Tartan patterns being worn over the orange prison wear in that last picture! Assimilation is ongoing!

They should have ‘Benny Hill’ on the notes.
