Europeans Vote on New Leonardo da Vinci Banknote Design
Article excerpt
Leonardo da Vinci could appear on the 100-euro banknote in a few years, and you can help make that happen. On Thursday, July 23, the European Central Bank (ECB) revealed 10 shortlisted design proposals for euro banknotes centered on either the theme of "European culture" or "rivers and birds", marking the first full redesign of the bills since they began circulating in 2002. Selected by an independent jury from a pool of over 1,200 graphic designers, the chosen artists hail from countries scattered across the European Union (EU). Each proposal includes respective designs for the five, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200-euro banknotes, centered around two themes with strong public support, as determined by previous ECB-issued surveys.
The European Central Bank’s shortlist for the Euro banknote redesign also includes prints of Ludwig van Beethoven, Miguel de Cervantes, and Marie Curie.
