Fellow Europeans, you can #vote for the first design update of our #euro note/bill since its first introduction back in 2002. Spoiler alert: pretty much all of the suggested designs suck. But eh, we may have an opportunity to get a Swiss note format this time ❤️ surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknote...
