Every European (and I guess non-Europeans as well) can vote what our next Euro design will be: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/
About ten different designs are available and about half of them feature birds instead of boring people.
I really like the bird designs as they symbolise freedom without borders. Hope one of them gets chosen in the end.


Does anyone find tilting windows annoying?
It is extremely difficult for elderly (or anyone) with rheumatoid arthritis, arthroscopic injuries or just deteriorated hand grip, as most windows require a strong two-handed grip to open, tilt or close. I love them, but my elderly relatives require help from us relatives or home aides/helpers to even manage to ventilate their homes.
skill issue
No, I meant that from a different angle - both things have their purpose, but attached bottle caps is something that almost anyone you ask would find annoying.
Initially this was (I guess) more like some typical European things that are not common at all outside of Europe.
The bottle caps are not annoying unless you have decreased hand mobility or strength. Any young able-bodied guys complaining are just lazy or limp.
