The seven different denominations of the euro banknotes represent our common heritage, showing different European architectural styles from different ages. The banknotes also depict bridges, which symbolise the connection between the people of Europe. The exhibition also explains the history of money, as well as the technologically advanced security features, which make the banknotes difficult to forge, but counterfeits easy to recognise.
Genuine and fake banknotes are on display, and the exhibition also comprises interactive elements and films. In addition, there is a kids’ corner, which features some more fun ways of learning about the euro, but is by no means only for children! Dear Governor Mersch, your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely hope that you will enjoy your visit to the Euro Exhibition.
