5 euro note

Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) is putting in circulation a new series of banknotes, which has a face value of BGN 5. The bill will be in circulation from September 4th as legal tender, the institution said.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is releasing the last two banknotes from the "Europe" series - from 100 and 200 euros.

The banknotes started circulating on May 28th.

The European Central Bank on Tuesday released a new 50-euro note as part of a rollout of new banknotes that boast better security features.

The new 50 that went into circulation on Tuesday features similar "feel, look, tilt" security measures that are part of the already issued 5, 10, and 20 euro banknotes.

The European Central Bank has announced that the new 50 euro banknotes, with the word "euro" written in Cyrillic script enter circulation on 4 April.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has decided to stop production and issuance of the EUR 500 banknote.

The ECB has also decided to exclude the largest note denomination from the Europa series, "taking into account concerns that this banknote could facilitate illicit activities", the Bank said in a statement on Wednesday.

A new EUR 20 bank note entered into circulation on Wednesday, the European Central Bank announced.

The new note is more resistant to counterfeiting and includes a new kind of security feature: a "portrait window" near the top of the hologram stripe, which becomes transparent when seen against the light.
