欧洲中央银行（ECB）公布了下一代欧元纸币的10份入选设计方案[1]。这些设计方案源自欧盟范围内的设计竞赛，共收到1,200多份申请[1]，涵盖"欧洲文化"和"河流与鸟类"两大主题[1]。
ECB已启动公众在线调查，以就新纸币设计方案征求公众意见[1]，调查将持续至2026年9月21日[1]。ECB理事会预期在年底前做出最终设计决定[1]。新纸币将采用改进的安全防伪功能和更可持续的材料与生产工艺[1]。这将是2002年欧元纸币发行以来的首次完整重新设计[1]。
ECB行长Christine Lagarde表示："欧元纸币不仅是支付工具——它们是欧洲最有形的表达方式之一。"[1]新纸币预计在随后的几年内开始流通，前一系列纸币将继续与新系列并行流通[1]。
The European Central Bank has unveiled ten shortlisted design proposals for the next generation of euro banknotes, drawn from a design competition that attracted over 1,200 applications across the European Union [1]. The selected designs are organized around two themes: "European Culture" and "Rivers and Birds" [1].
The ECB has launched a public online survey to gather feedback on these proposals, with the consultation running until September 21, 2026 [1]. The Governing Council is expected to select the final design by the end of the year [1]. The new banknotes will incorporate enhanced security features and employ more sustainable materials and production methods [1]. This marks the first complete redesign of euro banknotes since their introduction in 2002 [1].
ECB President Christine Lagarde emphasized the significance of the currency, stating: "Euro banknotes are more than a means of payment – they are one of the most tangible expressions of Europe" [1]. Once introduced, the new banknotes are anticipated to enter circulation within the following years, with the previous series continuing to circulate alongside the redesigned notes [1].
