The European Central Bank (ECB) has announced that the new 100-euro banknotes, which are set to be released in the near future, will feature designs inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s famous works. This decision marks a significant step in the ECB's effort to refresh the euro’s banknote series, with the 100-euro bill being one of the first to incorporate this change.
Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most revered figures in the history of art and science, is well-known for his intricate drawings and groundbreaking inventions. His genius spanned a variety of fields, from painting to engineering, making him a fitting symbol for the euro’s new banknotes.
