The new €10 banknote was unveiled by the European Central Bank today when it was announced that the note will enter circulation on the 23rd September 2014.

 

The new €10 will be easily recognisable as its design is similar to the existing €10 note. The design incorporates advances in banknote technology, making the note even more resistant to counterfeiting and it will also be more durable.

 

During the unveiling the ECB commented: “Today is a chance to highlight the importance of maintaining people’s trust in the Euro. One of the main reasons for introducing a new series of notes is to ensure that everyone who uses them can continue to do so with complete confidence”.
