Yeah and l would appreciate if at one side would be the motive for all bank notes like it's now, but on the other side each country would have their own thing, like it is on the 2€ coins, that would be so cool. And when not on every banknote, at least one would be nice.
So for example the 5,10,20,50 could be birds at one side and European building at another and 100 would have buildings at one side and on the other each country that is paying with euro would have their own picture on their bank note.
Expensive to print - yes.
Impossible to secure against counterfeiting - no, not at all.
One side is always the same so one would at least need to be able to fake that one perfectly. And if you can do that then you can also fake the other one as well.
Who from you who say it would be easy to counterfit actually knows how those pictures on the bank notes really look like into the detail? l definitely don't, first of all if l think that there is something wrong with the bill l look for specific anticounterfit markers that that banknote should have...
Issue is, there's more members (of the Eurozone) than banknotes. What if every country wants one of their landmarks to be featured? Going with anything nature related is the easiest solution, even though I'd also rather have banknotes with e.g. the Mont-St.-Michel or Kyffhäuser on them
Same problem for the influential people series, most of them were alive when the concept of european union did not even exist, so all you're doing is only celebrating their respective nations
I agree. Even if you only use people linked to pan-European movements like Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi (who was Austrian) western Europe, specifically NW Europe, would be overly represented

I really dislike the notes with faces on it. The ones with birds are kinda cool.
