| | Abstract - Introduction of euro banknotes and coins |
| | Holders of these banknotes aimed for an anonymous changeover into euro. | | | As this conversion channel was not provided and the changeover period was relatively short, the fear existed that a large fraction of these notes would invade the payment system, leading to a cash-crash. | | | This implied that in a period of at most two months all outstanding national currency had to be exchanged into euro banknotes and coins. |

| | Although euro bank notes already include such security features as holograms, foil stripes, special threads, microprinting, special inks and watermarks, the ECB believes it must add further protection to keep the euro from becoming the currency of choice in the criminal underworld, where the U.S. dollar is now the world's most counterfeited currency. | | | Intended to foil counterfeiters, the project is developing as Europe prepares for a massive changeover to the euro, and would create an instant mass market for RFID chips, which have long sought profitable application. | | | The euro will become "the most common currency in the world" at midnight on Jan. 1, when 12 nations embrace it, according to Ingo Susemihl, vice president and general manager of RFID group at Infineon. |
