Tickets in Euros

Il existe deux séries de billets en euros. Tous les billets ont cours légal dans l’ensemble de la zone euro.
La première série de billets, qui est entrée en circulation en 2002, est progressivement remplacée par la série « Europe ».

La nouvelle série de billets en euro nommée « Europe » a été introduite en 2013 avec la mise en circulation de la coupure de 5 euros. Elle a été complétée par l’émission des nouveaux billets de 100 et 200 euros fin mai 2019.
Il n’y a pas de dénomination de 500 euros de cette série, la BCE ayant totalement arrêté la fabrication et la distribution de cette grosse coupure pour enrailler les activités illégales.

Security features such as the hologram have been enhanced, and the face value printed with emerald green optically variable ink makes euro bills easier to recognize, making counterfeit bills easier to detect.

Banks and Euro banknotes

The production of euro banknotes is a joint effort by the national central banks and the ECB. For example, the Banque de France manages the production and distribution of euro banknotes in France.
