France to use new 100 and 200-euro banknotes starting today

New €100 and €200 banknotes will be used in France starting today.

Report's French bureau informs that the new banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Europe have a 3D format.

The new banknotes are smaller than the old ones and they have new security features such as the “satellite hologram” – when you tilt the banknote you see tiny € symbols moving around the number.

With their new design, they are even more durable and make counterfeiting all the more difficult.
