| The image of the
'Woman Riding The Beast' will replace pictures of
windows and doors on Euro banknotes as a security and
deocrative feature. She will first appear on the
€5 note in May 2013, with other notes
introduced in ascending order in the next few
years. Europa's face will be shown as a watermark
and as a hologram. Until now, Euro notes carried
pictures of windows and doors in various
architectural styles in a symbol of openness
designed not to offend national sensibilities.
The new notes will also carry an emerald-coloured
number. The first series of banknotes will
circulate alongside the old ones. But the old
notes, first introduced in 2002, will eventually
cease to be legal tender. "So
he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns."
(Revelation 17:3)
