the new cents coins (10c, 20c and 50c) are actually not that old, they have been introduced in 2024. And their presence is uncommon in day-to-day exchanges.

I especially like the new French 10, 20 and 50cents : they show three important women from our recent history and I believe it's important to promote feminine figures : it's inspiring for us and the future generation.

for me it's the opposite I think people shouldn't be displayed on money (unless it's a generic person like on the old 20c)

Last I heard, one of the reasons the Europa series was introduced was because the human brain and eyes are better as recognising faces. Which means counterfeiters needed extra efforts imitating Europa's face versus just copying a generic bridge/window/door.

So in essence, your preference will most certainly be overruled in future Euros banknotes as they will probably show faces of proeminent European celebrities such as Maria Salomea Skłodowska, which had the distinct honor of representing two EU nations and was "the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields".

Again my two cents,

I'am in France now. What is the best bank to get biljets (200 euro = 20 or banks with

Hi, in most BRED branches ("BRED Banque Populaire", but not "Banque Populaire Rives de Paris"), you can get 2x bills from the indoor ATM but no more that two at a time, but you can make as many withdrawals as you want.

Correction, at least at BRED in Soissons you get many many more !

70 EUR: 1 + 12
80 EUR: 1 + 14
90 EUR: 1 + 16
120 EUR: 2 + 20
200 EUR: 1 + 2 + 34

You can only enter a multiple of 10 Euro, entering 75 gave a warning and was not accepted.

Good catch ! Thanks for the correction !
