Two core redesign proposals are being considered—with each offering a different interpretation of its theme across the €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, and €200 bills.
Europeans have been invited to give their views on the final selection through an online survey which closes Sept. 21. The results will be considered by the Governing Council of the ECB, along with independent jury conclusions and a technical review, before the final design is selected toward the end of 2026.
According to the ECB, the redesign aims to better reflect Europe's identity and values, introduce enhanced security features, improve environmental sustainability, and make the banknotes more accessible and easier to use.
“Talk to friends, colleagues, family members, and ask them to participate, because we want as many Europeans as possible to express their views about our future banknotes,” said ECB president Christine Lagarde.
Meanwhile, there are some very recognizable faces of people credited with shaping the continent’s cultural identity in the European culture redesign package.
American-born Greek soprano Maria Callas has also been included, and is set to appear on the new €5 banknote, should the cultural package be selected.

She moved to Athens with her mother at the age of 13 and made her operatic debut at La Scala in Milan, Italy, just two years later.
In 1951 she made her official debut at La Scala in Milan, performing Verdi's I Vespri Siciliani.
The English National Opera describes her as being “able to deliver a wide range of vocal colours depending on the mood or type of music she was singing.”
Callas made her final major recital appearance in Sapporo, Japan in 1974, and withdrew from public life to live in Paris, where she died of a heart attack in 1977, at the age of 53.
In recognition of Callas’ legacy, Greece's Ministry of Culture successfully organized for the centenary of her birth to be included in UNESCO's 2023 anniversary commemorations.
