This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Beats any Euro banknote for sure.
Beats euro bills. But euro bills aren't bad compared to most. They have color, artwork and growing sizes depending on their value.
My favorite European bill is the Swiss one though.
I kinda like the differing sizes as it makes identification easier.
Personally tho, I wish coinage was more common. Not cents, but whole values as I think they’re easy to carry for small denominations and pay with.
I hate having to stand at the counter trying to shove bills that crinkle and fold into my wallet while someone waits behind me.
I always shove my change in my pocket and deal with it later.
Never had that issue with euro bills tbh but i can see it happen with dollars and all those shitty bills
It's the Euro coins that are nice, and even that only for those from some countries (one side of Euro coins varies depending on the country that issued them).
Yeah ours are a bit dull, intentionally so with their landmarks. They are too big also could do with an all round 15% reduction.
ECB heard this
