I'm your host, Alan Robert. In our 80th episode, we dive deep into the world of money – more specifically, the very paper that represents it. Europe is currently faced with a unique challenge: redesigning its banknotes. But this task isn't as simple as it sounds. Banknotes aren't just paper; they carry a nation's identity, values, and history. And when it's the European Central Bank at the helm, the story becomes even more captivating. Join me as I unravel this tale based on a fascinating article from the Economist Magazine, "Which country’s genius deserves the €200 note? Europe prepares for a fight."
