or a European seascape with a beach, where every grain of sand matters, just as every European citizen counts

Yeah, that’s where I stopped. Maybe stop letting people drown in the ocean. Then we can talk about how a seascape should represent how every person matters.

To be fair, it just says every European citizen matters…

But yeah, that idea didn’t sound great.

Maybe we can add a couple of children corpses on said beach to better reflect how things are going.

Oof sounds like one employee there had a good idea (birds), but others were jealous and pushed to have multiple ideas and let citizens vote.

It’s going to be birds, Karen. Stop talking about your beach and grains of sand.

Yeah, of all the themes in there, birds is by far the best one. Birds are beautiful, there’s a link to Europe itself, it’s really hard to exclude anyone.

And it won’t look like a pictogram that misses the point.

What is the problem with our fantasy bridges? I like them actually.

I just hope that pigeons don’t make it onto any denomination. Fucking pests.

Unless they’re white, then they’re a symbol for peace and get invited to weddings.

The survey is more than abstract and it looks like someone made it in a very old version of Microsoft Frontpage. Also, why didn’t they add ALL the EU member countries in the demographic questions is beyond my understanding: it’s not like they didn’t have space! I’m from Romania and it’s not present in the list… does that mean we’re out?

Why would you get a vote if you are not even a user of the Euro?

You can answer even if you’re not from EU. It’s even specified somewhere in the beginning.

There are cyrillic letters on the current euro banknotes just for the case that Bulgaria joins some day. There was even a big discussion if it should be EBPO (pronounced evro) or EYPO (pronounced euro). They stopped using countries on the coins for the same reason. Everything is designed with expansion in mind, thats why they should also have a say in the design.

Maybe it’s only countries from the eurozone?

Nope. Bulgaria is in the list and they’re “our brothers in arms”.
