Central banker Yannis Stournaras unveils new 20-euro note

Stournaras said that the new bank note had additional and innovative safety features, such as a transparent 'portrait window' with a holographic image of Europa visible on both sides from certain angles. He said the note had "strong Greek elements" since the specific portrait was taken from an ancient Greek vase currently at the Louvre Museum in Paris, made by a Greek artisan in the 4th century B.C. in the Taranta region of Italy.
"Today, 338 million citizens in 19 European countries share the euro. Our faith in our common currency, which has proved its credibility internationally, makes us all stronger," he said.
The presentation took place at the central bank's museum (Amerikis 3) before a group of first-year high-school students from the Varvakio School on a school trip.
