[00:19.44]The Euro soon became the second [00:21.44]biggest currency in the world. [00:24.15]Introducing the Euro was not a simple matter. [00:26.97]There were many things to consider. [00:28.88]One problem was the design of [00:30.55]the coins and notes. [00:32.10]Usually, a currency is associated [00:34.05]with one country only so it's easier [00:36.84]to find images and symbols to put on the coins [00:39.49]and notes.However, for the Euro, [00:41.82]twelve different countries were involved, [00:44.11]and each country was as keen as the other [00:46.83]to be represented. [00:47.77]The notes were designed by Robert Kalina [00:50.60]of Austria and he developed an interesting [00:53.17]solution to the problem. [00:54.94]His designs show seven different periods [00:57.26]in European architecture. [00:59.17]However, instead of showing real, [01:01.20]existing structures, [01:02.56]he used photographs to make up imaginary [01:05.38]structures that best represented [01:07.75]the different architectureal styles. [01:10.33]The fronts of the notes show windows [01:12.07]or gates while the backs show bridges. [01:13.76]
