The front of all euro coins is the same, marked with the face value of the coin, which is called "* * * coplanar", while the pattern on the back of the coin is designed by the issuing country. Constitutional monarchy countries usually use the head of their monarch, while other countries usually use their national symbols. All different coins can be used in all euro zones. For example, coins with the head of the King of Spain are legal tender in countries that use the euro except Spain. Euro coins * * * have 8 denominations. Although Finland and the Netherlands generally do not use coins of 1 euro and 2 euro cents, they are still legal tender.
The design of each denomination of euro notes is the same in all countries. Euro notes come in seven denominations. Although some countries do not issue large denomination banknotes, they are still legal tender. Trans-European automatic real-time settlement express transfer system (TARGET) is a European large-value transaction settlement system established before the issuance of Euro. The general rules of micropayment are as follows: transfer within the euro zone is regarded as domestic transfer, the handling fees for credit card payment and ATM withdrawal within the euro zone are the same as those in China, and bill payment such as cheque is also the same as that in China.
The euro pattern was publicly collected by the European Monetary Bureau and finally determined at 1996 12 13. The scheme of Austrian banknote designer Robert Callina was adopted. According to Karina's plan, the larger the face value, the larger the paper money area. The main components of the front patterns of various banknotes are doors and windows, which symbolize the spirit of cooperation and frankness. 12 stars form a circle, which symbolizes the harmonious coexistence of EU countries in Europe. On the reverse side of the paper money is the design of the bridge, which symbolizes the close ties between European countries. The patterns of doors, windows and bridges respectively represent the architectural styles of various periods in Europe. The monetary value from small to large is classical, romantic, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo, iron and glass, modern architectural style, and the colors are gray, red, blue, orange, green, tawny and lavender. Euro banknotes printed by countries in this region have the same pattern on the front and back, and there is no national symbol on the banknotes.
Coins are minted by euro-zone countries. All coins have the symbol of European Economic and Monetary Union on the front and the designs of various countries on the back.
Euro banknotes are made of tissue paper, which has a special feel, some of them will be uneven, and there are anti-counterfeiting lines. The face value figures at the top of the banknotes are printed with color-changing ink.
Euro banknotes (pictured) * * * are divided into seven denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros, with different sizes and colors. Each denomination of banknotes shows a European architectural period, a map of Europe and a European flag. For these seven denominations of banknotes, without exception, the design methods of front doors and windows and back bridges are adopted, which show different architectural styles in different periods in Europe and represent the cultural history of seven different periods in Europe. Arches and windows symbolize the spirit of openness and cooperation, and the EU's 12 stars represent the strength and unity of European countries. The bridge-shaped building on the back of paper money represents the cooperation and exchange between European countries and between Europe and the world. The amount of money is printed on paper money followed by Latin and Greek letters. The abbreviation of the European Central Bank is marked by five language variants of the official languages of EU countries. The banknotes are printed with the flag and map of the European Union. The abbreviation of the European Central Bank and the signature of the governor of the central bank are expressed in five official languages used in the European Union, such as BCE, ECB, EZB, EKT and EKP.
