The €5 note will begin circulation across Ireland today, as the new “Europa” series of notes starts to be phased in.
It’s part of the Central Bank’s eurozone roll-out of the new notes, RTÉ report.
The new note is similar in size and appearance but it has a number of new security features. These include a portrait watermark of the Greek goddess Europa, raised lines along the sides of the note, a shiny emerald colour number and a portrait hologram of Europa.
The new note will circulate alongside the existing €5 note.
