Frankfurt – ” In total, there are now 17.5 billion euro banknotes in circulation. The euro notes that we use every day are the most tangible symbols of European integration. The introduction of a new banknote serves as a reminder that this integration is an ongoing process,” commented ECB President Mario Draghi, presenting the new €20 banknote during a ceremony held yesterday in Frankfurt. The new €20 note is the third denomination in the Europa series that is gradually replacing the original euro banknotes introduced in 2002, after the €5 and €10 bank notes. The new €20 bill, signed by Draghi, will enter into circulation on 25 November this year.. (9Colonne)
