<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1870472, member: 39"]Guess that the English slogan promoting Catalonia's independence makes sense because there are so many visitors and residents in Barcelona who understand English better than Catalan, hehe. And of course a note stamped this way get its message across more easily in other euro countries. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, the paper money that circulates in this area (Western Germany/Eastern Netherlands) is usually not that worn. Maybe the banks - und ultimately the "local" central banks - stop re-issuing notes in bad shape earlier than banks in, say, Italy. As far as I can tell, the old (first generation) €5 notes are actually taken out of circulation a little earlier than usual, now that the second generation is there. Which would also mean that the average "lifetime" is even shorter than the usual 1 to 2 years - and that would of course affect any messages on those notes too ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
