1. Nice. What is it? Fleur de lis, olive and oak leaves?

2. Other than monarchies which have a change of head of state, EU Member States may only update their standard national euro design at most once every 15 years. With this update, France is marking both the 20th anniversary of the introduction of Euro coins and banknotes, and also its assumption of the Presidency of the Council of the EU.

3. I thought oak leaves was a german thing. Great to see we have more in common.
