The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched a consultation with Europeans to choose the designs of future banknotes.
According to France 24, the future French banknotes could be decorated with birds and rivers. These motifs evoke themes of freedom and borders, which birds continuously cross.
Christophe Bys, head of the Economy and Business section at The Conversation France, explains this symbolic approach aimed at reflecting shared values through monetary design.
