In the year 2000 we had a referendum here in Denmark whether we should use the euro and lose our own currency or not.. and the result was "no to the Euro" and we have done pretty good anyway using our Kroner... so i only know of the Euro when I travel to other European countries... 🙂
Still don't understand how Americans can be so cruel to the blind, by not having different size notes, like in the rest of the world!
That's always been something I've wondered. How do blind Americans manage when the notes are all the same?
US notes (bills) are hard enough to differentiate when you're fully sighted. I'm always having to be very careful over there
Americans are cruel. Look at what's happening now. Disgusting
Because in the US&A, unlike much of Europe, plastic is king. It's accepted everywhere for everything. Even sighted people don't use cash much anymore.
They don'T care about anyone, why would they care about the blind especially?
I still have French franc and centime coins from a school trip to Paris in the 1980s and when the EURO was introduced, I also kept coins of our old currency as souvenirs!
Having a shared currency has benefits for trading and tourism. The issue though is that to join it countries had to lose the ability to control important things like interest rates etc.
One currency with 27 divergent economic strategies
Most of the Euro zone countries lied about their economy so as to meet the standards set by the EU for joining. Greece even made an arrangement with Goldman Sachs, for tens of billions of dollars worth of national debt, to be transferred to their books until after they were approved.
Even the Netherlands had to do some jiggery pokery to join the club.
Based on a lie and insincere promises by the European Politburo.
All those various currencies were a hassle. Going abroad meant you had to change your own currency into bills and coins of your destination. Coming back you always had leftovers, that no one wanted. Changing back meant you had to pay the bank twice.
@@new_ale Yep and one country that benefits from that, and that's starting to fail
@@TheMateriaalkunde
Not anymore though, not with cashless societies and international bank transfers
Australia was the first country to develop these plastic polymer notes, which are so difficult to forge. Many countries around the world have followed, except the USA. One of the advantages is that the notes last much longer than the paper/cotton notes.
Thank you, it took us decades in the UK to come the same obvious conclusion.
Remember, as well, Europe is pysically larger than the USA and has more than 2 times the population.
thats continental europe, the UK isnt as big as the usa, its like 0.6x the size.
@@WookieWarriorz The UK is far bigger than the USA, they just don't realise they are going around in circles. Silly Americans
@@WookieWarriorz How did you come up with UK `?
The UK is part of Europe, and Europe as a continent is bigger than the USA
@@WookieWarriorz Where did I say that the UK is bigger than the US, I'm a bit more educated than that? Methinks that you either get better spectacles or learn to read. Geographically, the UK is part of Europe, do you understand that bit?
As an Aussie I haven't used cash in my country since about 2018, possibly earlier. As a traveller, I used cash in Germany a bit, mainly Christmas markets and some small stores. Mostly I used my card, which uses the wholesale Mastercard exchange rate with no fees (it's basically the midpoint of the buy/sell in the XE app). In Balkan countries and further east in other trips, cash was required more often, but still not needed in supermarkets etc.
Quite a lot of information...I like the respectful simplicity of the bills which most probably was implemented remembering conflicts of the past due to differing opinions of who's country was best....hope you get to use some of those bills in your future travels....Karl from eastern Canada
Fun fact, in Spijkenisse, a city in the netherlands, they made pedestrian and cycle bridges inspired after the bridges on the euro notes
Yeeh, was looking for that comment... 😂
The Dutch pranked us all ❤
beat me to it 🤣
Fun fact, since adopting the Euro, The Netherlands has become a blood donor for the ever increasing non democratic expansion plans that only support globalist investors and bankers. Clearly If you had experienced as an adult in the Netherlands in the 80's or 90's. You would not have been bought off by a pretty picture.
Damn it! Why the Euro notes favour the Netherland's architecture?!?!
Not content with trolling the sea, the Dutch continued by spiting both their canals and the EU in one big paraboloid move. 😂
Speaking as someone who traveled in Europe using different currencies it was no a nightmare at all changing currencies and most people just used their debit and credit cards and the banks did the calculation and currency exchange for us. It was pretty easy to calculate the approximate price in your head and for most purchases like coffee or a meal you would not even bother. Anyone who struggled with that calculation could use the calculator on their phone or cheap pocket calculator
They could easily have made banknotes for every country. On side could be recognizable and the same for every country and the other side have a picture of something from each country so the Eiffel tower for France, the Colosseum for Italy, Acropolis for Greece, Brandenburg Gate Germany, The Basilica Spain and so on.
The ‘star constellations’ in the notes exist in almost all currencies. All photocopy machines recognise the pattern and it will prevent the copy function on the hardware. 👍🇬🇧
If you ever were to start collecting the quarters, remember this. The state quarters have finished but are continually being replaced with other series for example the National Parks. And this fact will blow your mind. There are at least two different mints, one in Philadelphia and one in Denver so your coins will have either a D or a P on them. I think there’s also a San Francisco mint but that may be for special coins. Your coins will mostly come from Philadelphia as you’re on the east side of the country but if you go to WDW you can get them from Denver quite easily as people fly in from all over. I always visit the change machines at Disney when I go there as I have various collections on the go. I’m sure there are videos on RUclips about the various different collections. Maybe you could review one of those next.
Next video about the 0€ banknotes from this same channel, please.
It's really interesting
I hope you guys do more Would I Lie To You soon. Especially a Bob Mortimer one.
I have learned so much about my own currency! Thank you for sharing this video. And by the way, I don't think the notes are dull at all. Mike, I can definitely send you some euro coins from Portugal. Just let me know where I can ship them to.
I'm British and I learnt just as much as you both did about the Euro. We don't have it so I don't give it a 2nd thought! 😂
I remember going to Italy with a few hundred pounds in Italian Lira , I had millions of them , it was worth so little they didnt give you coins as change , thay gave you candy
lol😂yes I remember
Try Zimbabwe. I would go to the shop with 3 carrier bags full of notes, and come out with a loaf or bread and a litre of milk.
A lot of American tourists come to Britain with Euros, because they seem to think the whole of Europe uses the Euro.
I wonder if *that* is the biggest insult Americans do to Brits, or are there worse?
@@walkir2662 Nothing insulting about it. We just tell them we use £ sterling.
@walkir2662 why would that be insulting? It is their dumbarse fault for getting the wrong money. Then they would have to exchange again and lose more money because the pound is stronger than the euro
@@DJKav I believe some of the bigger shops will accept them such as M&S and tourists spots
@@DJKav Euros are probably easier to exchange to pounds tho. And dollars are easier to exchange into euros. So not that bad
Cayman Islands and Bahamian banknotes and coins have mostly been designed and produced in the UK in the UKs coins are very attractive
I am Danish and we still have our own currency (the kronen). But have put it close up to the Euro and you do not need to change the Danish krone you can use the Euro in Denmark.
The 'Bank of England' has valuable information _("How to check your bank notes"),_ for detecting forgeries on both the QEII and KCIII British notes. The £5, £10, £20 & £50 notes have many 'security features' included. Also _(as anyone in the UK knows),_ the larger the 'size' of note the greater the 'value', plus they have addotional raised dots for blind or partially sighted to differentiate the monetary value. But it should be of interest (?) that some of the older methods to detect forgeries _(detector marker pens, UV light etc.),_ may not work at all. I.e. Detector marker pens DO NOT WORK on new polymer notes!
This video is a purposefully superficial exploration of "What is the Euro?", but some of the differences pointed out in design have their roots deep, deep down in what a fiat currency is.
There is a fundamental reason why the notes are of different designs. It's because they are, fundamentally, separate currencies. The only reason why a Greek €5 note works in Germany is because the countries have signed a treaty to permit that. But there's no inalienable law in which the Greeks have influence; Germany can change its laws if it wants to,
Currency is intrinsically tied up with sovereignty. Effectively the very definition of sovereignty is the power to make and enforce laws and to enforce the use of a single currency within one's sovereign territory. And the ugly reality for the Euro is that the Eurozone is a loose collaboration of sovereign countries, not a single sovereign block. It's very different to the USA, where the member States ceded far more of their sovereignty to the Union / Federal government than European countries have to the EU. Even more complicatedly, the EU isn't the Eurozone...
And one of the big things about being a sovereign country is that you can - if you wish - withdraw from the treaty. There may be terms and conditions about withdrawal in the treaty, but ultimately those are unenforceable by the other signatory countries except by War, or by economic retaliation, if they so wish. So if Germany decided that it preferred to break loose from the Eurozone and return to the Deutschmark, it can do so and there's nothing anyone else can do about it. It would remain in the EU, probably.
This "frailty" in the Eurozone show up in other areas. There's a thriving business in banking for companies in non-Euro countries like the UK and Poland. Companies need € bank accounts to help transactions, and those accounts need to have money in them (to pay or having been paid). Thing is, if the € upped and vanished overnight, that bank account would now be useless. So, there are banking services where at the end of the trading day all the money in your company € account is moved to a £ account, and moved back again at the start of the next trading day. That way, if the Euro evaporates overnight, you've still got your company money.
Currency Unions like the Eurozone have existed before, and there's a long list of disbanded unions on the Wikipedia page on the topic. Basically, they don't last. Without full political union and the resultant standardisation of taxation, policy, politics, etc, the differences in those things between the members of the currency union eventually pull it apart.
Good stuff! As a Brit I seldom come across the Euro, and so I learnt things about the Euro today. Happy travels, one day - hope that the US's new management doesn't screw things up for you.
this video showed some of the ("secret") security features, but there are probably twice as many that were not mentioned,
eg several holograms, a stripe (mostly on the more valuable notes), half transparent numbers on front and back that you can check for alignment, etc,
and then of course accessibility features like their different sizes, and some dots and dashes that can be felt.
for the coins, it is similar, eg each coin has a different pattern of markings along its edge to feel their different values.
Ooohhh, potential travel ?
Using Euro's?
Germany?
You both expressed a desire to go there on a previous video
Good luck-its a lovely country
In Denmark as they mentioned in the clip we do not use the euro, but our own currency Kronen gets priced after the euro to make it almost similar to our fellow countries in the EU.. It was only 53,2 percent who voted against the euro back then, but most danes today are happy we still have our own currency and after all these years it has become fairly easy to quickly calculate in you head how much this and that is when visiting other euro countries.
@@illBeSmurfin I guess the majority of Danes living nearby the German border think otherwise?
@@Busfles984 i cant answer that question, i dont live near the german border my guess would be the same as yours
It is the main reasons I never went to Denmark after the Euro became a thing. Europe has so much to offer, that I can pick an easier place to go to. I do not want to do calculations to know what something costs. It is a bit easier now in that I do not actually need cash in Denmark. And with 100DKK = 13.40 EUR it is easy to get it wrong by a factor of 10. This could be an issue if I reserve a table at e.g The Alchemist if I think that the expensive table is 210 EUR (Which would be cheap and I would go directly) for miscalculating the 16 400 DKK actual price.
OK, that will be an exception, but I have done miscalculations by a factor of 10. And sometimes you do not know if something is a price, or 10 times as much, because it is a luxury item in that country.
@@houghi3826 and thats totally fine, if i found a country i would visit i would not discard it because of a different currency especially because of easy access to convert apps on the phone
The best thing about the Euro coins is that you can pay for a lot of things with just a handful of them. In my case, I rareIy pay anything below 5€ with notes. I used to but I started collecting such a large amount of change that I began paying almost all small bills with coins and now I can't see myself not doing it. 😄
The best thing about the euro coin is it fits in the shopping trolleys 😂
All the bridges you see on the banknotes do really exist !
In a Dutch town Spijkenisse, they built all these bridges on scale model in the form of foot and bicycle bridges
The Euro does wildly favor Dutch motives.
That's the bridges from the original series, isn't it?
It mentioned that Sweden doesn't meet the economic criteria to adapt the Euro, which got me curious what that was. This was the answer I was given, if you're curious!
"Sweden deliberately does not meet the exchange rate stability criterion because it has never joined ERM II. This is a political decision based on a 2003 referendum where Swedes voted against adopting the euro (56% against, 42% in favor). Since joining ERM II is voluntary, Sweden simply avoids it to delay or prevent euro adoption."
Sweden didn't want it
So the Swedes had sense then?? It only benefits Germany and France as they control the EU and the Euro.
I agree with the swedes im an aussie of greek origin. The EU and Euro should get stuffed! 🇦🇺
Notice that each denomination was a different size. That is to help partially sighted people and it is easier for other people do distinguish between the notes. Also each denomination is a different colour. In America all yuor notes seem to be the same size and colour.
The shared common currency had absolutely nothing to do with making it easier to travel between countries spending money
I think that the notes are also made of different materials.
The zero Euro banknote is actually more valuable (in trade terms if not exchange rate) than most of the notes issued in South America
We truly are a species of memes.
there is a two part series on youtube about many of those 0€ notes from most counties.
and even the usa and some other non-european countries produce some of their own and sell them to tourists ...
I wonder if Mile and Jess think it would be a good idea to give up the US dollar and join in a currency union with Canada Mexico Cuba Brazil Venezuela Nicaragua Columbia and a few other central and southern American countries? It would be handy going on holiday
That security feature to stop counterfeit money or from being able to scan it. You have that in the US too. But instead of circles you have it in dollars symbols. It is the same pattern as the pound sterling and the Euro. Just yours isn't dots or circles. I can't remember the last time I had a euro note in my hand, but in the UK we have braille on the money too for the blind. Does America have that also?
The irony is that the vast amount of transactions are electronic (card, phone etc.). I haven't wielded a Euro note for years (but I have a pot full of coins). When I lived/worked in the US (quite a few years ago), I collected all 12 types of one dollar bill. It surprised me that Americans didn't know there are (were?) 12 mints printing notes and the bill number is preceded by A to L to denote the mint (plus a 1 to 12 printed in each inner corner). So A is Boston, Mass; B is New York, NY; ... L is San Francisco, CA. The hardest to find (if I remember correctly) was J Kansas City, Missouri. I still have them, btw. Funny story, some places in Europe would not accept "poorer" country Euro coins, they wanted French or German coins thinking they were "stronger"!
The 20EURO not has a good feature... you can buy 20choclate bars!!!! lol good video
This was an interesting video it's a shame that Jesse's master plan didn't get started😂🤣😂
Hopefully you will visit Europe soon and that we will get to see some travel vlogs.
Greetings from Germany
Personally I think the countries involved have lost a little of their identity, I'm glad we opted out and even happier that we left Europe altogether. Best wishes from England
Americans are super funny. They believe they are the most powerful nation, even though they are on the age of the babies. And they will hardly ever understand that they are the buffer zone for Europe.
Australia invented the plastic note and is the most advanced note on the planet. See the video from the same person
There was a commemorative 2€ coin, not issued by any specific country, with a public voting on which of the submitted designs should be on the side free usually for national designs. Anybody familiar with internet polls recognizes where this might be heading. The overwhelming winner was a crude sketch of a stick man holding or leaning to a giant euro symbol. Of course the design was accompanied by a bit of BS about its supposed symbolism, but both the designer and the public had punked the system. The coin was issued in limited quantities, and they're sought after by collectors.
I once only had a €1000 note and tried to buy some food from a local bakery 😂
❤ from Northeast England ❤
That’s all kinds of wrong 😝😂
and did you get jail instead of bread when you tried to pay with the 1000€ note ?
the biggest notes were 500€ until they were taken out of circulation, making 200€ the biggest now
(the 500€ are still legal, but very very rare)
@Anson_AKB
500, that was it.. it was the biggest, thats about all my age rotted brain remembers 🥴
We went for a day trip to Bodrum in Turkey and I changed £10 for 10 millions Turkish Lira. Pain in the arse sifting through it to buy anything.
I have a full set of the US State quarters. I was working in Ohio 1996/97 and i think they came out around that time. When i returned home my friend over there sent me them every time he came across a new one. No doubt they're in a box in the loft 😂
Cards and apps etc are really convenient until they're not, then you need cash. Carry both. Same with boarding passes, sorry for the tangent, but always print them out. My flatmates phone died in Barcelona and he only got home because I told him this. Plenty of piss taking ensued on his return.
Ok let me get this straight, the fact that everything is a fantasy makes it more inclusive. In the desperate attempt to please everybody, nobody is actually represented.
Yep, sounds about right.
The US doesn't have any reason to change design or size!!!
It's also expensive to do so! They don't spend money if they don't need to. Applies to manufactured food too!
Jess, I bet you could go to your local bank and buy/exchange euro bills (at least 5, 10 and 20€) for your dollars. ;)
So why do the banknotes have to be inclusive and not show favorability to any country but the coins can?

Travelling for an hour? I lived 25 minutes driving from the German border, an hour and a half from Belgium. In 1988 I did InterRail in Europe. That was dealing with a lot of currencies.
There was a reason that UK and Denmark didn't adopt the Euro. They were the only two countried to meet the criteria set out for joining. The EU had to lower the criteria to allow the other countries to join.
Are you a Brexiteer? Your comment is absolute nonsense. The criteria were not lowered. Several EU countries met the criteria at the time it was set. Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to believe that the EU would set a criteria that only two countries could meet? 🤦♂
349,25 Million People living in the Eurozone, the complete EU has 448,4 Million Inhabitats
I'm not sure where you rfigures come from, perhaps you mean the population of the Eurozone have 448.4 million because according the the latest demographich census _ "In 2018, Europe had a total population of over 751 million people. 448 million of them lived in the European Union, and 110 million in European Russia", (from Wikipedia) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Europe

For a hundred dollars, I'll send you a Euro :)
The only issue l have with the US dollar bills is that all the denominations are the same size, ie, 1 dollar bill is the same size as the 100 dollar bill, how can US peeps who are blind, tell the difference by feel so they dont hand over a 100 db instead of a 10 db etc, does the dollars have some kind of braille on each bill so the blind can tell the difference by feel? xx

USD is awful, it's all the same colour and size so you can't immediately distinguish one note from another, like in a wallet with lots of notes.
Being the same colour causes problems with colourblind people and being the same size causes problems for blind people.
The 0 euro notes are expensive
Around 30 European counties are not using the Euro

Aw euros 😮
Once a country joins the Euro currency they lose their soveriegn rights as economic decisions are made in Brussels - so, if the Euro plunges on the international markets, Brussels will raise interest rates which could send member states into recession. That's why the UK retained the Pound Sterling and will never join the Euro.
This is complete nonsense, of course. Nobody in Brussels sets any interest rates, ECB does. In Frankfurt.
@randuru I stand corrected but the fact remains that it wouldn't be set in London therefore better out of the Euro currency than in.
Yet to adopt the currency? Not deemed worthy? How about just did not want to adopt it
The title "Secrets of the Euro" sounds like something Mark Corrigan would write! (Peep Show reference)

@@Busfles984 Not happening, ever.
EU and Euro 🤬🇬🇷🇦🇺
All good in theory but there are problems. All countries must be on the same economic cycle. If they are not! ie Germany are racing ahead and need to quieten their economy, to slow inflation they may need to raise the interest rate.
Or if you say Greece whose economy is slow and needs to lower the rate to encourage spending and investment. Interest rates are Euro wide controlled by the European Central Bank. The ECB favour the strong.
Very glad we did not join this club.
Tou should check out some of his other videos. He did a detailed one about new security features on one of the UJ banknotes.
i only wish we had adopted the euro, if we had we'd still be in the EU
The benefits of the Euro are relatively small. But, the costs potentially very high. For example, the Euro debt crisis of 2011-12 saw Eurozone economies forced into austerity - leading to a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Outside the Euro, the UK had greater flexibility to depreciate the currency (making exports cheaper) and pursuing looser monetary policy.

Coins.
While living in Germany I acquired a coin I am not sure I should have, it has symbols on it of a less tastier Germany, I keep it as a reminder that Germany is one of the greatest countries on the planet with great leadership, fantastic people and the food, but the German countryside is outstanding.
The coin to me shows how far Germany has grown in such a short time. Respect.
Münzen.

The bridges and open doors representing cooperation is precisely what Europe is all about.
I wonder if US notes in the future will show walls an armed border guards.
Common currency makes for great travel and trade - John Maynard Keynes proposed a global one in the aftermath of WW2 but the US vetoed it.
What you are forgetting is; if one country f.up their economi every contry in EU is f.up. Just like if your goverment f.up your economi every state, that deal with other contries if f.up. Don't knows why I thought of this these days. ;)
If I had to guess, that is one of the reasons Denmark, a very stabel society and stabel economi, opted out and still does.

On our GBP we have brail on them for the blind.
We here in the UK are superior to the rest of Europe. We drive on the other side of the road and speak the best language in the World so would never lower ourselves to learn another language. So giving up the pound for the euro would never happen.
You misspelt Inferior to the rest of Europe,
You misspelt Brits can't even speak their own language properly how could they learn another language,
Some of us who have it don't want it either
We don’t want it thank you
For example, Hungary has not yet joined the Eurozone because, firstly, the economy is not very strong, so people's savings would lose value if it joined. On the other hand, this stupid orbán deliberately does not want to enter because it benefits foreign companies, because the Hungarian forint is constantly devaluing, so foreign companies, for example, do not pay more salaries in Euro, only in Forint because of the devaluation. Because e.g. 10 years ago 1 Euro was 300 HUF, now it is 400 HUF, which means that an employee gets 25% more salary in HUF, but the employer gets the same amount in EUR as 10 years ago. so the salary is essentially devalued

In amongst many dumb comments, you have stood up loud and proud as completely ridiculous.
A hell of an achievement my friend, well done.
Here's a congratulatory biscuit. 🍪
@bucklberryreturns Thanks! You see my point then - no need to counterfeit when you can hold up banks (my comment reacting to M&J’s “our notes don’t have too much security on them”)
*eats the biscuit* 🍪
It's not that they don't meet the criteria none of them want it
sharing a common currency stopped country's controlling there own finances
The Euro is living on a knife edge. It's unicorn fart dust 😉
It's the 2nd largest reserve currency and is on its way to becoming the largest. Something that's being accelerated thanks to the nonsense going on in the US.
Plz react to the uk show “people just do nothing “
I wish the UK had adopted the Euro. Then I wouldn't have to be ripped off by the financial institutes every time I travel to the Eurozone.
