  1. I like the 500 bill. Only saw it once or twice in my life.

  2. I personally prefer when they’re brand new and the paper is stiff. Makes it feel like it’s worth more.

  3. If you give it to me, I prefer the two in the top row. If I have to give it to you, the bottom ones.

  4. The new ones are a big improvement. The old ones had less vibrant colours and they just left the left part blank like they didn*t even care. Also the new ones are an improvement for blind people.

    Still a far cry from what other courrencies achieve – just look at Swiss Francs for great personalities and awesome design.

  5. New because I believe in progress, the curve is nicer, and you can see the added security applied in the notes. My only gripe is they don’t fit in my wallet, too fat.

  6. Old.

    If they’re ever considering a whole new series of designs, would be great to have some portraits again. Or artwork. Or really anything but nondescript, boring architecture.

  7. They can be brow with picture of satan.. Idc as long as i get them..

  8. old is better. new ones feels like “50” of anything. old banknotes are also more aesthetic than their new versions.

  9. Colours look better but not a big difference right ?

  10. Maybe the old ones are just a little faded but the new seem brighter and more colourful. Also like the bigger building images.

  11. I think they did a really good job. While both versions are obviously different and you can clearly point out differences, my brain would register both versions as the same note without thinking about it. There is enough going on on each note that my brain just mixes the impression together into a “yea this is a X euro note”.

    It would probably have taken me years to realize that multiple versions are circulating, if i was not actively made aware of the switch.

  12. I find it childish the number has to be in the top center.

  13. prefer the cleaner design on the older bills, owed to the empty space on the left side

  14. New ones are much better, they have a more robust material. Old ones would be damaged easily. I also like the more intense colors.

  15. The old ones as they were the original series at least i felt a great pride of having a common currency just 13 years after the fall of communism and was very hopeful that EU will be the new leader of free world, thus they fill me with nostaligia of the world that could have been

  16. Never noticed the difference to be honest 😬

  17. I like the old €5 more but everything else the new one.

  18. I find them all kind of soulless TBH. I know the euro is supposed to be neutral so that is kind of the point… but other “countries” have more interesting designs.

  19. I haven’t used cash money in years, I wouldn’t recognize any of them as old or new.
