The Brilliant Design of the Euro 

So, looking purely from a design standpoint, what is your favorite currency in circulation? Personally, aside from the Euro, I would probably have to give props to the Canadian dollar.

Wtf are those finger nails

3:25 It might be a bit nerdy but each time I get coins as change (euro coins) I go check the country they were coined in lol.

0:29 I felt like i saw youtube video from 2007

Yeah Euros are cool and all, but Norwegian money has fish on them

0:04 Canada split into two lol.

1:18 That's wrong! We have at least one portrait on all Euro bills. If you look closely you can spot Europa, a women from Greek mythology as a holographic portrait on the bills.

0:04 this map aint very accurate

As a child I loved it to see where my coins came from; how they had “travelled” e.g. living in Germany and then getting a Spanish, Finnish or Greek Euro

As a Finn, I can tell you that knowing the size of the bill/coin you’re holding makes transactions much quicker and easier. You know just from the size and feel whether you’re holding a 5€ bill or a 200€ bill. Same with coins, since the 2€ coin is the biggest, and the 10 cent coin is the smallest, although (I have bot of these in my hands rn) the 5 cent coin is slightly thinner. Don’t know about 1 and 2 cent coins (can’t be bothered to dig up my collection, since we don’t use them in Finland and I’ve gathered them as mempirs. It’s really so small that it’s hardly even monrey), but I believe in most European countries these are the smallest coins by size. Anyway, point is having different-size money makes life so much easier, and not just for blind people. Also, I love you for including the Finnish mark in the video, you won’t see those except in collections and museums.

1:45 Good edit =D

The picture at 0:05 is long outdated. The Baltics are in the Eurozone now and Belarus doesn't have the crazy high inflation anymore, so they use their own currency now.

I love the Euro, mostly becouse it's so colorful. I also colect coins from diferent European countries. My favourites are (in no order): 1 Spanish Euro with a Spanish guy. 50 Portugese Cents with a ton of symbols 2 French Euros with a tree and the three words in French: Liberty, Equality and Fetirnity 1 Slovak Euro with the cros that is on the Slovak flag 50 Belgian Cents with a Belgian guy 2 Greek Euros with the famous statue that is throwing a disc 50 Finnish Cents with a lion 2 Netherlandish Euros with queen Beatrix 1 Austrian Euro with Mozart 50 Vatican Cents with a Pope And my favourite 2 German Euros with the € symbol in the middle and houses, people, a boat, the European bank and a factory around it and the words "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND"

It's always fun getting change in Europe, and getting to look at the coins, and seeing the different designs for the different countries, while everywhere else it's just boring.

I like how rational the currency is, coins are ordered by color (cents, tens of cents and euros) and size, they are consistent and have large enough denominations (looking at you UK and China with your ridiculously low 50L and 100¥) and are colorful (it'd be better if the colors were all primary and secondary ones, I dislike that orange) Also it's a very strong currency, I wouldn't like to have 100 units of a currency that buys me less than a coffee when it's simpler to base transactions in the unit Overall, within the major currencies, I think it belongs to my personal top, I still think that coins could be more regular and bills with proportionately volume and plastic cover but I like it nonetheless

I like the Euro Desgin =D Best greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

Who filmed the video with the money Or do you just like long fingernails

I am from the Eurozone and to be honest I wish our banknotes layout could get some changes and features monuments acoss Europe. I wouldn't get offended at all. That being said, I don't miss my old currency as I like the Euro. I see it as a great attempt to bring people together and turn Europe into an unified country.

It’s actually quite fun! Sometimes you’ll find a random €1 coin on the street and find out it’s from spain or anywhere else. Makes you feel kind of connected and makes you wonder where it first came to be :D

Check the thumbnail...... There might be an mistake

My favourite currency is new New Zealand notes.

Different sizes aren't only easy if you're blind. It imediatly shows which bill is worth more, even if you're a foreigner and therefor not used to the curency. Dollars just all look the same. I had quite a bit of trouble differenciating them when I was in the US.

*OFFENDED CZECH INCOMING* Did you seriously use a map with Czech Republic and Slovakia being the same country Ah good it's only the first one, the next one he uses has them split up

💶 The euro 🇪🇺 The European Union ❤️

I'm from Finland and I have been in the US and i have to say that the US coins like quarters , penny's , dimes and nickels do not make sense. and the sizing is an issue as well. and i generally had a hard time understanding the coin system in the US. The euro coin system makes more sense to me but im biased.

Love your channel

Can you make a Video about Austria

The back of many euro coins do have famous people

Wonderful lighting by the way

The bridges that were made what you have seen in The video are in my city

The Romanian leu banknote also has a window on every banknote. The “window” also has an imprint onto it. It’s also made out of polymer, just like Canadian Dollars.

Good stuff!

Fun fact, the map part on the Euro has Norway on it, despite Norway not being part of the EU. The reason is one part Norway is in a trade union with the EU, and one part the fact Sweden and Finland looks like genitals without Norway. I'm not joking.

You have a typo in the thumbnail, just saying

New Swiss Frank looks very cool...

Channel might take off soon, but that's just a prediction

Seeing M.Draghi on the Euro an then having him as a prime minister is really strange

I appreciate your almost accurate pronounciation of the "Brandenburg Gate". Best regards from Germany!

Yeah, I really like it when bills have differing colours. And if they differ drastically, even better. Being able to tell them apart easily by colour is good! I haven't experienced having bills of differing sizes, though. But I'm open to the idea of it. Being able to tell the bills by touch is a pretty good option as well.

1 euro cent coins have different thing on them depending on the place they were minted in

Holy shit i didnt notice the billiant in the thumbnail but the day after

YOOOOO THOSE NAILS MATE

Great video, but the map at 0:05 is wrong. Czechoslovakia is split and Slovakia is in the Eurozone.

1:17 Gauss is controversial ?

3:15 Dude what where you on when you decided: "yea i should put this pixel soup in my vid"

1:07 Why is the number censored

The new Europa series notes do have a portrait on them but it's of a mythical character.

0:04 why are the great lakes grey i mean most of all the other lakes are white like the oceans ore not on the map (exept the canadian lakes)

My top 4 favourite currencies are the Kuwaiti Dinar, Euro, Saudi riyal, French franc

What is a yero

I like the swiss franc lol :D

The 50 state quarters was a commemorative program, followed by the America the beautiful commemorative program which showed different national park or historical site from each state, not each state making its own coins.

The Costa Rica Colon bills are really beautiful because they are so colorful and have those typical animals on them!

Did u misspell brilliant in the thumbnail on purpose

0:03 when I went to Croatia in 2014 they used the Kuna as curreny

Who did the artwork on the Federation Credit? Has Paramount actually printed any money as props for any Star Trek movie or series? Or are the images “fan fiction?” And if so, has Paramount authorized the design or complained about it?

dude the Norwegian krone with the wealth of Norwegian people is close to perfect Because the paper money has easy to see pictures of the economy of Norway and we got fancy colors

Another reason the Euro has different sizes and colors for the bill is so people can tell them apart just by looking at them in a neat pile. In the USA you could easily put 100 Dollar bill at the top and the bottom of the pile and in between a bunch of 1 Dollar bills.

Australian Dollar Different lengths but not heights so still easy to grab out of a wallet. Multicolored Waterproof Different thickness of notes

In Romania we don't have controversial historical people on our bills. We have scientists, poets, musicians, historians and painters and I think they all deserve their place there

And remember Muricans, this money isn't from the 18th century, this stuff is waterproof [But that's not special, only you [and some barbarians] don't do it]

As a European I have real trouble using dollar bills because they all have the same size and color. With euro bills, you just have to look into your wallet and take the bills with the right color (which you can see, because the bills have different sizes) out, but with the dollar I have to take all of them out of my wallet and look for the right bill individually

The Thumbnail is also brilliant

which windows do the canadians have? xp? 7? 10?

In germany we also have coins for every german state

I think that best design have Czech Crowns, they look really nice.

Kazakh Tenge or the Costa Rican pseo. Theyre both insanely pretty.

The Eastern Caribbean Dollar! Each note denomination has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the front (It looks just like the one on the Cayman Islands Bill you showed in the video) since most (if not all) territories which use the currency were former British colonies.

Australian notes (2016/17 design onwards)

Yep, I gave you a like...👍🏼💯✔

cool

Good voice, good writing, and good information. But get a better camera, learn to focus your items on screen, and you need more lighting.

Someone else noticed the ,,billiante“ in the thumbnail?

the Eurozone is also in the Baltics though, no?

My favorite paper currencies would be the Australian dollar, Norwegian krone, and the Swiss franc (particularly the latest design).

I would like euro with mikołaj kopernik on one side and polish eagle on second

You should take a look at the Rupee note from India. It has the denomination written in 20 different official languages which mostly have their own scripts!

Accually the different sizes are so when bills are stacked on top of eachother you can easily see where your 5 10 and 20 eurobill is. However this only works when you have a clean and welltaken care wallet.

but swicc franc is pretty cool tho

I like the new £5 and £10 notes (uk)

Also,the romanian leu has interesting features...an transparent window,the cultural main personalities ,an band on which are the values of the leu(1 5 10 50 100 200 500), different colors.And it's made from polyester...not paper!😄

Among my favorite currencies is the euro, the United States dollar, the Hungarian forint and the Swiss franc.

3:16 10/10 sharpness

It would be nice if one site of the euro bills would have these Bridges and the other site would be individual by every EU - country

1:29 why picking on Poland though???

Why is there a map with Czechoslovakia

In Romania (a European Union country) uses the euro for high denominations or for trip to another European country. In Romania we use leu

KhAnubis, ever looked the Brazilian Real? Is older than the Euro and identical

Funny thing is that i've learned there exists a 200€ bill only a year ago and i live in Slovakia my whole life

The coins are minted in the various countries, as ever they were, with issues from Andorra, Monaco, SanMarino, Vatican City : no one gets left out☆ the Kuna (Croatia ) is 'dobar skroz', all good.

I've touched a 10$ bill once The texture feels so weird, maybe I'm just used to the smooth euro bills

Yeah I also love the billiant design of the euro

There is a portrait on the euro, princess Europa

Wow it’s BILLIANT!!!!!!

Maybe we could use industrial symbols for each industry on each demomination

The best designed money is the new Australian notes. They have transparent windows that run from the top to the bottom of the note, the $5, $10, and $50. Soon to be the $20 and $100 too.

yo never saw the portuguese escudo bills, they look very nice

You should see the 10000 (dunno what it’s called) bill in Kazakhstan

Vatican and San Marino euro coins can be sold over face value because are just so rare. So maybe that's one of the reason why they avoided doing the same with notes

Swiss Frank. Beautiful banknotes!
