   On 1st January 2002, twelve European countries started using the new euro as their 1. official currency.  The euro soon became the second biggest currency in the world. One problem of the euro was the 2. design of the coins and notes. Usually, a currency is 3. associated with one country only, so it is easier to find images and symbols to put on the coins and notes.  However, for the euro, twelve different countries were 4. involved,  and each country was as keen as the other to be represented.

The notes were designed by Robert Kalina of Australia and he developed an interesting 5. solution to the problem. 6. Instead of showing real, existing structures,  he used photographs to make 7. up  imaginary structures.  The structures he used were all bridges,  to represent 8. communication between the people of Europe.

The coins were 9. easier to design.  Each country was 10. allowed to design their own euro coins which could be used in any of the participating countries.  Perhaps the American dollar is one of the most 11. famous banknotes.  On the back of the dollar bill,  there is an interesting design with a pyramid with an eye at the top of it.  The pyramid is 12. supposed to represent the strength and the power to 13. last a long time.  Some people call the eye “the-all-seeing-eye”,  14. reflecting on the religious heritage of America.  The top of the pyramid is 15. separated from the body of the pyramid showing that America will grow and build more.
