The ECB makes a survey on which design should the new banknotes have. You can participate here: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknotes/share/ . The designs include birds and buildings or famous persons and culture.
I’m partial to the Tietäväinen design, myself. The Daëron one is nice, too. The Vardopoulou one also feels properly money-like.
I consider the Dünnweiler design a complete atrocity, the worst one by far. And most of the “people” designs aren’t good.
What I dislike about the “bird” designs is the backside. Few people have any idea what most of those buildings are and they feel far less European to me than an abstract representation of a historical architectural style.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the EU buildings either. They’re too modern for my taste.
The representation of different architectural eras is amazing and it is sad that they’d be dropping it.
I’m personally not a fan of picking people, as there’s only so many bills and much more countries. It will inevitably become partial.
That said, I actually love the bird designs.
