5.Did you find anything surprising?

Firstly, I found really interesting is that there is a section called ‘’Cash changeover’’ in which you can change your currency in order to know how much does your currency values in other country, i.e , how much Slovak koruna can you obtain with one euro.
Secondly, there is a section adapted to children in which they can learn more about the euro through an online game and different videos.
Moreover, I was surprised about the fact that the website offers job opportunities to work at the european central bank’s headquarters applying on-line. You can also check in the website the Conditions of Employment Staff.
Finally, you can find all the design elements of the banknotes so as to distinguish european notes from other country's notes.
