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.

Weird and ill-advised. Living people who appear on bank notes tend to be monarchs and dictators. Imagine having someone on the euro notes that suddenly becomes overtly anti-EU. Not a good call to promote someone who’s against you.

Remember when Star Trek mentioned Musk? That did not age well.

I'd rather have Henry Kissinger on the note.
