The Brilliant Design of the Euro
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- In my personal opinion (feel free to disagree), the Euro is probably one of the best designed currencies in circulation. This is because of its ability for any of the 20+ countries that use it to use it without feeling left out. How does it do this?

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.
Canadian Dollar then Euro, I'll swap those once we get the Europarm
@@artificialgravitas8954 the bosnien mark
@@dzemalharacic9043 aren't they a potential member of the EU and Eurozone? The currency would not necessarily stick around
Have you not seen the Australian dollar? It's polymer and has windows, too, like the Canadian, but it's way more colorful. Honestly, if I could have Euro banknotes with the design of the Aus dollar, but without the Queen and the kangaroos and those things obviously, and with a max denomination of €50 and a minimum of €1, that would be great.
@@freshguy1337 Was about to suggest that. They look really good with some nice scientific graphics
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.
Same and I also check the year#
Same
So do I, I live in the UK, but when I get euro coins, I often have coins from countries I've never been to
0:29 I felt like i saw youtube video from 2007
Yeah, and it was glorious!
Yeah Euros are cool and all, but Norwegian money has fish on them
Hahaha, yes
ClassicSpace-Guy
HaHa yeah!
I was confused when I first saw the 200kr. I was like "What the hell is this? Norwegian Monopoly money?" I mean, the way it looks, and the fact they're fairly new and stiff, it looks like currency in a Norwegian economics board game.
And Icelandic too
No,Euro sucks and i'am german
0:04 Canada split into two lol.
Hahahahah lol
There's nothing interesting anyway above that imaginary border.
And united Czechoslovakia... 😂🤦♂️
The grat canadian civil war
And Hungary doesn't have the euro
0:04 this map aint very accurate
@@Joel-do4uh Well, for example there's Czechoslovakia...
@@Joel-do4uh first of all, Hungary and Croatia dont use the euro, second of all why does tjechoslowakia excist in this map, slowakia is eurozone, tjechia not btw why is Canada divided into 2 and even dough Montenegro and Kosovo are not officialy allouwed to use the euro, they are in the eurozone

@@emieloverduin5542 I currently live in Montenegro... They use the euro
@@lucijathegreat894 i know
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.
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
US Quarters actually have different states printed on their tail sides (much like with the Euro coins). I'll often see coins from Oregon, Montana, Arkansas, New York, etc.
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.
CrapFactor
That is an exception, not the rule. If you try that in my county, they will most definetely notice it. Also, let’s not forget the fact that you have technically committed fraud, which can land you a good 2-4 years in prison in most European countries.
CrapFactor
Njaa, en nyt kyllä jaksa uskoa että markka mitään muuttaisi.
As a Finn, I can tell you that why the fuck would you use cash. Like seriously.
@@crapfactor8435 eli sun mielestä pitäis vaihtaa markkaan ihan vaan ettei näyttäis kolikot samoilta? Ootko aatellu että siinä voi olla joitain muita syitä että vaihdettiin euroon...?
1:45 Good edit =D
💶 The euro 🇪🇺 The European Union ❤️
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"
I love the special coins they sometimes mint eg. the 2 € with Mecklemburg Vorpommern and a pretty castle
In my opinion the Finnish 1€ coin is the most beautiful coin there is
@@justsomeghostwithinterneta7296 I agree ... the finnish euros are one of the prettiest euro coins.
I love the Greek 2 euro coin with the owl from the drachne on the back, and the special Belgian 2 euro coin (I don't remember what year) with the stick figure.
Those "guys" are the Kings, and Queens.
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 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.
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
Who filmed the video with the money
Or do you just like long fingernails
His girlfriend did the Euro video
Shirokröte I like long fingernails, I can't have them short
My nails are to hard, so i end up using them lot
I cut them so they don't get to big, and they are always clean
But I can't see how people can have their fingers longer than the nails, it seems so weird for me..
I like the Euro Desgin =D
Best greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
CEKROM Ja Österreich 🇦🇹
Hello my Austrian brother greentings from Finnish-Austrian empire!
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.
not every country in Europe is in the EU, Norway isnt, Iceland isnt, Switzerland isnt, and those countries that are in the EU not all of them use the euro, I am from Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom and the UK currency is the pound we are still (for no til next year) part of the EU and use the Pound, whilst our neighbours the Republic of Ireland use the euro, Czech Republic Hungary, Poland, Romania Sweden Denmark Bulgaria are all EU members but use their own currencies, and they are all EU members ..
@@PS-ru2ov Ya, I know that, I've been to many of them, and used those currencies. I was just saying in Europe because that is often how people speak about it. Don't assume that everyone else on the internet is an idiot, otherwise you'll just end up seeming really egotistical.
*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
wha
@Average Joesson Austria-Hungry. Sorry dont see that on the map your going to have to name me a real country.
@@crapfactor8435 No, we splitted into two republics four years after fall of communism.
1989 - fall of communism
1993 - separated from Czechoslovak to Czech and Slovakia

Check the thumbnail...... There might be an mistake
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.
Martijn Derese that just shows how dumb you are tbh. There isn t much functionality in haveing different sizes in currency it just increases the production cost and if you are dumb enough to need a different size to diffetentiate them you really should not handle that much money.
@@awcy7141 I assume you never heard of blind people, tourists, visualy impaired people, ... Or do you think they shouldn't be able to buy stuff? That sounds great for the economy.
Martijn Derese yeah my point still stands. Tourists do theyr research before traveling and trust me seeing 5 or 10 on a bill is enough for everyone to know the value. Blind and visualy impaired people are a very, very and I can t stretch enough how small of a minority they are. Now not that they should be excluded but most of the time thy won t and should not use large amounts of cash (regardless of the bill size) and when they have to do so they will have someone to help, again, regardless of the bill size. Functionality wise different size and or color really does not add much but production cost and more error prone bills.
@@awcy7141 yeah, you're right your assertion that different sizes of bills is extremely expensive must be true. That's why all countries who redesign their currency all make them same size and colour. Oh wait they don't. Show me some evidence (that means external sources not more conjectures) before you call people dumb.
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
My favourite currency is new New Zealand notes.
No, the 20 plagiarized canadas 20
Jonathan Lewis Canada printed that money because contract was given to Canada this time usually Australia printed before that’s why it does show resemblance with Canada
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.
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.
The back of many euro coins do have famous people
or the brandenburg gatd
But just the Euro coins. Euro coins have all different designs for each nation (which in my opinion, makes euro coins very cool). However, the bills do not have any national symbols. They are promoting everybody's culture and also a culture of a united Europe at the same time.
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.
I live in a country that uses the Euro (🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪). It’s pretty great.
You have a typo in the thumbnail, just saying
BAI HUI it’s done on purpose. “The BILLiant” as in bill iaint instead of brilliant
@@user-bm8vo3sw6d My bad
My top 4 favourite currencies are the Kuwaiti Dinar, Euro, Saudi riyal, French franc
I appreciate your almost accurate pronounciation of the "Brandenburg Gate". Best regards from Germany!
And remember Muricans, this money isn't from the 18th century, this stuff is waterproof

It already has been. This channel only hit 4k just before November.
Great video, but the map at 0:05 is wrong. Czechoslovakia is split and Slovakia is in the Eurozone.
Yeah it's really weird, notice how kn north america canada is divided into two seperate countries?
@@bavarianpotato And Japan disappeared together with South Sudan
@@xyungeloest good eye, the more you look at it the weirder it gets. Although south sudan is at least excusable in the sense that it's a fairly recent country
@@xyungeloest are we missing sth? How can you fuck up a map this bad, especially in the cases where they created a new border all the way through canada, but also just erased japan
And both Latvia & Lithuania has been part of the Eurozone since 2015
Good voice, good writing, and good information. But get a better camera, learn to focus your items on screen, and you need more lighting.
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.
Seeing M.Draghi on the Euro an then having him as a prime minister is really strange
Soon it'll be...
*die Vereinigten Staaten von Europa*
@Cosmo united states of europe, its a play on the fact that germany/france want to draw europe even closer together
Cosmo
„The United States states of Europe“
Its called Kaiserreich and its art.
Its gonna be a 4th Reich soon enough
Yeah Germany is great in combining countries and keeping them that way if you know what I'm talking about.
The bridges that were made what you have seen in The video are in my city
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.
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
The Thumbnail is also brilliant
1 euro cent coins have different thing on them depending on the place they were minted in
Epic Enter all euro coins have...
The new Europa series notes do have a portrait on them but it's of a mythical character.
YOOOOO THOSE NAILS MATE
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!
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
Australian Dollar
Different lengths but not heights so still easy to grab out of a wallet.
Multicolored
Waterproof
Different thickness of notes
Don't forget that the new ones have bumps to help distinguish them without looking!
szoszk
True
Waterproof was the wrong term
What I should have said:
Euros are waterproof but they can still tear relatively easily when wet where as the Australian dollar is hard to tear no matter what.
But I really like the Euro
Yep, I gave you a like...👍🏼💯✔
The best design of a currency is the old Roman one. Why bills, if you can carry real gold with you ?!
3:15 Dude what where you on when you decided: "yea i should put this pixel soup in my vid"
Wow it’s BILLIANT!!!!!!
Wonderful lighting by the way
Honestly, Gauß wasn't really controversial, he was just a mathematician
Good stuff!
Swiss Frank. Beautiful banknotes!
3:16 10/10 sharpness
the Eurozone is also in the Baltics though, no?
I like the swiss franc lol :D
The Costa Rica Colon bills are really beautiful because they are so colorful and have those typical animals on them!
So are we just not gonna talk about the typo in the thumbnail or...?
You misspelled the thumbnail
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.
1:07
Why is the number censored
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
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
but swicc franc is pretty cool tho
*Swiss*
@@rudwiljohnamaro905 😂 i didn't realize that when i wrote that
Hahahaha
No
Yes is the prettier for me
Holy shit i didnt notice the billiant in the thumbnail but the day after
There is a portrait on the euro, princess Europa
Love your channel
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.
1:17 Gauss is controversial ?
Someone else noticed the ,,billiante“ in the thumbnail?
In germany we also have coins for every german state
0:03 when I went to Croatia in 2014 they used the Kuna as curreny
And they still do!
@@nemamimebezimensam8614 Yeah but the proper authorities didn't allow them to
umbrellabungee Montenegro simply uses whatever currency Germany has. There is no real way to stop them from doing that
@@nemamimebezimensam8614 Greece (and I think Slovenia) also use the Euro

I would like euro with mikołaj kopernik on one side and polish eagle on second
Can you make a Video about Austria
Maybe we could use industrial symbols for each industry on each demomination
Australian notes (2016/17 design onwards)
Did u misspell brilliant in the thumbnail on purpose
3:59 My favourite currency Indian Rupees ₹
I didn't have that much money from other nations. The euro is the money, I'm used to. Except that, I have a 1$ bill and used Danish krones. I think the Canadian money is interesting from a design standpoint.
I think the Euro lacks one thing and that's a 1€ bill. The lowest bill is a 5€ bill and not all ATMs give out 5€, so you have to get at least 10€. Also paper money feels more valuable than coins.
I have a problem with different currencys and that's the conversion. With Euro to USD you don't need to do big conversions. There is some but not that big. I can go straight to the US and go to a grocery store and kinda know how much this in Euro would be. With other currencys this is more difficult. For example Danish money is such a case. 1€ is about 7DKK and seeing the prices is a bit confusing. You need to do the conversion to know if this is expensive or not.
Not mentioning that 1€ coin STOLE the 1 BRL design!
My favorite paper currencies would be the Australian dollar, Norwegian krone, and the Swiss franc (particularly the latest design).
Brandenburger Tor is on the 1€ coin
There are many different 1/2€ coins
I gotta say this is really billiant
1:29 why picking on Poland though???
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.
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.
KhAnubis, ever looked the Brazilian Real? Is older than the Euro and identical
Design is cool, but I still miss the Dutch Gulden in The Netherlands..
They should put a language panel like Indian currency
In Romania (a European Union country) uses the euro for high denominations or for trip to another European country.
In Romania we use leu
I really like the new Norwegian money.
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!😄
The increase in height is stupid, the €50 barely fits without poking out and getting crumbled and anything larger just won't fit. Tge difference in length is a good idea though
Among my favorite currencies is the euro, the United States dollar, the Hungarian forint and the Swiss franc.
