Birds, rivers or hands: Irish citizens invited to have say on new euro banknotes

Citizens can choose from a number of themes, with the final decision being made by the ECB next year

"We want Europeans to identify with the design of euro banknotes, which is why they will play an active role in selecting the new theme.”

European citizens are being asked to have their say on a number of proposed themes for new euro banknotes by the European Central Bank.

Beginning today and running until the 31st of August, all citizens of Eurozone countries can respond to a survey on the ECB's website and express their preferences on a number of shortlisted themes.
