I don't like the designs. I didn't even know who the person on the 200€ bill is until today and I have a suspicion she was chosen by some woke EU bureaucrat. I'm sure Europe had better persons in its history. If Maria Callas is suitable for currency, why not put Daft Punk on it? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

> I didn't even know who the person on the 200€ bill is until today Considering she was a pretty big deal, it’s telling that your reaction to learning about someone important you had no knowledge of is to use bland unsubstantiated accusations to insult the person who made the pick instead of “interesting, I should’ve known, I wonder why I haven’t learned about her in school (or have since forgotten), let me deepen my understanding of who this person was and her relevance”. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

As an Austrian, Bertha von Suttner is a big deal. First woman to win a Nobel Peace prize (and probably the reason that prize exists in the first place!), second woman to win a Nobel ever (after Curie). Your ignorance of her is not an indictment of "woke bureaucrats". Daft Punk honestly sounds cool, but we probably shouldn't be putting any living personalities on there. Feels kinda weird. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
