Almost ten million people took part in ECB survey on new euro banknotes

A total of 9.96 million people across Europe and beyond shared their views on the future design of euro banknotes by completing the ECB’s public survey. “This amazing number shows how much interest Europeans have in their future banknotes,” said President Christine Lagarde. “With them participating in the redesign process, an important step has been taken in preparing the next series of banknotes.” 2.6% of the euro area population took part in the survey, and interest was strong across all age groups, including younger generations, with two-thirds of responses coming from people under the age of 35. To ensure that the survey results accurately represent the euro area population, data will be analysed using standard statistical methods.
