  1. As someone who admires architecture but doesn't like the generic and nameless buildings showcased on the banknote, I disagree.

  2. They can focus on nature. Plants, animals and geographical features such as rivers, seas, mountains, landscapes won't create controversy. They can also sprinkle some Greco-Roman mythology or showcase some EU projects like the European Space Agency.

  3. I'm pretty sure plants, animals, landscapes won't make people mad. The current design is very boring and almost soulless.

  4. You know you can have beauty and function together right? Your mindset is the reason our modern world is an ugly human breaking machine.

  5. The current design is incredibly boring and lifeless. In a way, it accurately captures the EU's spirit. An entity without humans made of only faceless buildings, a cold bureaucratic empire that only exists to promote trade and economic exchanges (bridges). There's nothing special about it, it only smashes together all of our cultures and heritage to create some kind of low quality ersatz.

  6. They aren't even real buildings.

  7.  @crazydragy4233  And these architectural styles aren't present everywhere either. I prefer real places to be represented even if they are not in my country rather than fake soulless, generic buildings. Animals also exist across national borders. The banknotes could follow a theme from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean Sea. Or each note can showcase different species from a type of animals (birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians). There are many possible ways. I'd accept anything other than these ugly buildings.

  8. Alright but these designs are boring and lifeless. There's also science and nature that can unite us.

  9. They removed the 500 note from circulation. But yeah, he should have showed it.

  10. It will probably take a decade before they are rolled out so it will be a full generation since the first euros were issued.

  11. They can't for safety reasons.

  12. These buildings don't exist and the architectural styles don't differ much from one another. The only banknote that showed a unique architectural style was the 500 banknote and it was removed from circulation. The overall design is very dull, lifeless and just plain boring. There are many other things that can bring ourselves together and elicit pride such as nature (plants, animals, landscapes), our space program, the countless scientific discoveries made by European scientists etc.

  13. It's not even really historical since they are fake buildings.

  14. The EU is a huge institution, it can focus on many issues at once.

  15. The change isn't necessarily a direct swap. They will probably leave all designs in circulation.

  16. Nobody is overrepresented because no one is represented. It gives off the feeling it's about building a future without people, cultures, nature, nations.

  17. Neutral is boring.

  18. Removed from circulation

  19. You guys are more obsessed with Islam than Muslims themselves.

  20. So our history is fake generic buildings and not grandiose feats of architecture?

  21. I hate the current design. It's boring, it's lifeless, it's generic.

  22.  @HighFlyingOwlOfMinerva  Huh? What made you think that? I want portraits of European figures or at the very least landscapes, flora and fauna. By trying to be consensual, you lose all identity.

  23. Redesigned? The "new" design is literally the same as the older one save for very minor changes. And it was issued in 2013, 8 years ago.

  24. I still hate it.

  25. And I'm pretty sure people are still nostalgic of their former national currency.

  27. Not a bad idea!

  28. Tell me you're obsessed with Islam without telling me you're obsessed with Islam:

  29. I am the only thinking euro banknotes are ugly?

  30. They are boring, generic and lifeless.

  31. The "redesign" is basically the same as the older one save for very minor changes.

  32. Small denomination notes are too expensive to produce and wear off too fast.

  33.  @user-be1jx7ty7n  They are all men. Feminists will be mad.

  34. As if an institution like the EU couldn't focus on several issues at the same time. Banknotes are among the many symbols of a nation. If the EU wants to create a (supra-)national pride, it has to work on its image.

  35.  @Broniath  It isn't fine, it's mad ugly.

  36. It was removed from circulation because it was mostly used for criminal activities.

  37. Hopefully not

  38. It's not really a redesign, just an update/new issue.

  39. The last "redesign" was just an update with very little aesthetic changes.

  40. Not the Yankee exporting his culture wars in Europe 🤦‍♂️

  41. Both can be used.

  42.  @riiitch  A good theme but a very boring execution.

  43. Not by me. It's ugly, boring, lifeless, generic.

  44. Lifeless buildings are not relatable.

  45.  @2.5chainz  Do you know what life means? They are non-existing generic buildings, represented in the most boring way, with no reference to the cultural and historical background (Ancient Roman/Greek religions, Christianity, industrial revolution) that made these architectural styles possible. There are no human figures. No animals or plants. These banknotes are lifeless. Period.

  46. What's wrong with change? Also the current design is lazy, boring and lifeless
