    A design contest for euro banknotes? Brilliant! Because nothing says “stable economy” like letting a bunch of art students doodle on our cash. 💸🎨

  5. A design contest for new Euro banknotes? Brilliant idea! Nothing screams “let’s fix the economy” like a fresh coat of paint on our pretty paper money. 💸🎨

    Looks like the ECB is finally inviting us to play Picasso with our hard-earned Euros. Can’t wait to see if the new notes come with a side of existential crisis or just a nice cup of €5 coffee! 😂💶

    Oh great, a design contest for euro notes—because what we really needed was more art school dropouts deciding how to spend our hard-earned cash. 🤷‍♂️💸
