With the amount of security mechanisms in a banknote that have to be tailed to each design, I would assume that making that many variants would be financially irresponsible.

No, just leave a blank space in the middle that has nothing to do with the denomination and is there just to be interesting. Print something new in it for each member; issue half of them in odd years and half in even. Hold contests.

But then perhaps your photocopiers would need constant updates - to do the usual banknote detection and refusal to copy ?

As someone with the detection mechanism tatooed on their arm, I can tell you this is not based on the visual design of the entire note, but on a small constellation of five rings, the so called EURion constellation [0]. It's also used by other bank notes around the world, inlcuding the Yen and US Dollar.

You think people of some countries might protest Gutenberg, Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Maria Callas, Beethoven, or Marrie Currie? If such people exist, fuck em.

*Maria Skłodowska-Curie

Yeah, that's precisely one of the reasons why there shouldn't be faces on bank notes. Shame on the nationalists that managed to make dreck out of it.

As an Austrian, it feels a bit annoying that the Germans got their one famous composer - they're kind of our thing! Why not Mozart, Strauss, Haydn, Schubert? It's also unfortunate that the nice peaceful bird motif was paired with the ugly modern buildings on the other side.

> Mozart I don't want to open old wounds but Mozart's nationality is debated and warrants its own long Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart%27s_nationality

These people can't be serious. They're just trolling.

César Franck was Dutch, BTW.

So livable that people are no longer having children? So livable, that people no longer see any hope or meaning in their lives and the future? The highest incomes on the planet, are in monarchies like Liechtenstein and Monaco. Singapore, which cannot be called a democracy, is one of the safest countries on the planet. Another interesting way to look at it is at the debt. The debt of most (all?) democracies is sky roc…

Liechtenstein is heavenly tied to Switzerland, Monaco to France. They don't exist without Democracies. Safety is definitely not the only metric on Life quality. There is a reason why Singapore is called Singaboor and South Korea, Japan and Taiwan have a way more cultural impact.

Nonsense... look at a map. But nice attempt at shifting the goal posts though! ;)
