Cia originalus pranesimas:

Central banks and other monetary authorities usually upgrade their banknotes after they have been
in circulation for a few years to keep ahead of counterfeiters. The Eurosystem is also taking this
precautionary measure and is currently developing a new series of euro banknotes. Not that there
are many counterfeits: fewer than 600,000 of them – a tiny fraction of the 12 billion banknotes in
circulation – are seized on average per year while in circulation, and they are mainly of low
to medium quality.The first denomination in the second series is planned to be put into circulation
on 1 January 2011, and will be followed by the other denominations over a period of several
years. The designs will be evolutionary, for they will incorporate the present “ages and styles of
Europe” theme as well as state-of-the-art and user-friendly security features. The designs and
features of the second series, in terms of functionality, are based on market research
involving the public and people who handle cash professionally, and also on consultations
with the main stakeholders in the cash cycle. The ECB will announce well in advance when the
current series ceases to be legal tender, i.e. when it can no longer be used to make payments.
However, the NCBs will redeem euro banknotes of the “old” series for an unlimited period of
time.
