A better link might be https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/ht..., which has all of the proposals on a single page for easier browsing.

Thanks! changed from https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/ht... above. I've put the original URL in the toptext.

I wish I've seen this before clicking 2359 times :/ Thanks anyway at least now I can share the right experience with people so they won't suffer like me.

Also I like birds. H looks nice.

Yeah, either H or B bird faces would work. Both are nice.

I don't like the idea of using faces in the banknotes - when will North Macedonia get its turn and with whom? When will Ireland get its turn? Bulgaria?

Birds are neutral and nice.

Also for the back, much rather I'd have the EU map instead of clunky EU institutions, else people will just see that as more evidence of further EU intrusion.

Not sure if it is much better, the images are tiny on that version and the companion text explaining the designs seems to be missin (though that sort of text you can usually do without).

The actual images are pretty big so you can just use your browser's native zooming capabilities.

I found that much nicer than constantly clicking to show the reverse sides, but to each their own!

The article one also misses on the size differences across notes. Not the biggest deal, but should be shown.
