Every Bridge on Euro Banknotes Is Completely Made Up
Every euro banknote features an architectural window on the front and a grand bridge on the back. Yet none of these landmarks exist in the real world. To prevent jealous diplomatic squabbles over which member nation's historic monuments deserved a spot on the common currency, the European Central Bank designed completely fictional bridges. Each represents a generic European architectural era—from Classical to Modern—symbolizing connection and openness without favoring any single country.
