The new €10 banknote has been unveiled in Frankfurt, the second in the "Europa" series which will be introduced gradually over several years.
The new €10 banknote will start circulating on 23 September 2014, thus giving enough time for all parties to prepare for a smooth introduction.
While the new €10 resembles the one first issued in 2002, it has been given a fresh look and has several new and enhanced security features. For example, like the new €5, it includes a portrait of Europa - a figure from Greek mythology and the origin of our continent's name - in the hologram and the watermark.
Euro banknotes are a tangible symbol of the European Union. 334 million people in 18 countries now use the euro.
