The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB), jointly with the European Central Bank (ECB), has prepared information materials aimed at familiarizing the public with the design and security features of euro banknotes as part of the information and publicity campaign for the introduction of the euro in Bulgaria on January 1, 2026, the BNB said on its website.
A poster introducing the design and security features of euro banknotes is available on the BNB's website.
Detailed descriptions and visualizations of the security features of each euro banknote denomination from both the Europa series and the first series using the feel-look-tilt method are available on the ECB's website.
When purchasing banknote authentication devices, the BNB recommends choosing from the list published by the ECB. The recommended list of devices verifying the authentication of euro coins is available on the website of the European Technical and Scientific Centre of the European Commission, the press release said.
