<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1716786, member: 39&quot;]These days the exhibition about the updated €5 notes (&quot;The New Face of the Euro&quot;) can be visited in Bratislava, Slovakia - until the end of June. Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8-15 h. Address: Národná Banka Slovenska, Imricha Karvaša 1, Bratislava. Here is the NBS <a href="http://www.nbs.sk/en/press/all-press-releases/press-releases-common/press-release/_the-new-face-of-the-euro-exhibition-opens-in-bratislava" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nbs.sk/en/press/all-press-releases/press-releases-common/press-release/_the-new-face-of-the-euro-exhibition-opens-in-bratislava" rel="nofollow">press release</a> in English.</p><p><br /></p><p>The new €5 notes have been in circulation for almost a month now. Here is a quick camera photo which shows one of the first I got. (Not great, I know, but scanning them is a problem.) The diagonal lines, on the left and right of the obverse, are raised. Felt a little odd first ... The new notes are not polymer but &quot;paper&quot;, and yet they have an extra lacquer layer which supposedly extends the &quot;life span&quot;, so they feel a little different if one is used to the old notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that the dot (reverse, upper left corner) and the partly &quot;blocked&quot; serial number is something I added, for bill tracking purposes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
