The two hundred euro note (€200) is the second-highest value euro banknote and has been used since the introduction of the euro (in its cash form) in 2002. The note is used in the 22 countries which have it as their sole currency (with 20 legally adopting it); with a population of about 332 million.
It is the second-largest note measuring 153x82mm and has a yellow colour scheme. The two hundred euro banknotes depict bridges and arches/doorways in Art Nouveau style (between the 19th and 20th century).
The two hundred euro note contains several complex security features such as watermarks, invisible ink, holograms and microprinting that document its authenticity. In September 2011, there were approximately 178,838,200 two hundred euro banknotes in circulation around the Eurozone.
The euro was set up on 1 January 1999, when it became the currency of over 300 million people in Europe. For the first three years of its existence it was an invisible currency, only used in accountance. Euro cash was not introduced until 1 January 2002, when it replaced the banknotes and coins of the eurozone 12, as it was then, national currencies like the Irish Pound and the Austrian schilling.
The euro banknotes are the banknotes of the euro, the currency of the Eurozone and have been in circulation since 2002. They are issued by the National Central Banks of the Eurosystem or the European Central Bank. Denominations of the notes range from €5 to €500 and, unlike euro coins, the design is identical across the whole of the eurozone, although they are issued and printed in various member states.
The euro came into existence on 1 January 1999, although it had been a goal of the European Union (EU) and its predecessors since the 1960s. After tough negotiations, particularly due to opposition from the United Kingdom, the Maastricht Treaty entered into force in 1993 with the goal of creating economic and monetary union by 1999 for all EU states except the UK and Denmark (even though Denmark has a fixed exchange rate policy with the euro).
In 1999 the currency was born virtually and in 2002 notes and coins began to circulate. It rapidly took over from the former national currencies and slowly expanded behind the rest of the EU. In 2009 the Lisbon Treaty formalised its political authority, the Euro Group, alongside the European Central Bank.
This whole system where freedoms marked as cash, made for and by the established, it equals white male upperclass. Instead of make our resistant evident speak out and then strike back. We make the bastards stronger when we are quite and bust our ass. When the corporations own everything it makes us easier to control. and then what about the opposite gender, complexion they have it harder even now, Will they count at all? Instead of equality we get bigger gaps, instead of freedom we get cash. Instead of putting our mouth where our heart is and cut the leash, we attach. This time it's a part of society, this time there is a certain enemy. This time there isn't any body else. This time i will put the blame on no one but the white male upperclass. This whole system custom made for such pigs as the ones who got a lot of money but still dont have to pay more tax. When it comes paying the taxes they claim that one size fits all, but the low income earners get x-large size and the capitalists get small.
