Tomorrow, the 23rd of September, the new 10 euro bill will be brought into circulation throughout Europe.
Following the introduction of a new 5 euro bill in May last year, this bill forms part of the series called ´Europa´ and within the next couple of years all presently circulating euro bills will be replaced by new ones that are supposed to be better protected, to be more difficult to falsify and to last longer as well, as have special coating.
This new 10 euro bill has been presented in January 2014 and over 3 million leaflets have been distributed to inform companies that use machines that need to authenticate bills in order to process them, to prepare them for the new bill.
Personally, I would not count on the many cash machines in parkings etc. to accept them without a glitch, as most have not even adapted to the new 5 euro bill.
