Banknotes of Luxembourg

The official currency of Luxembourg is the Euro (EUR), which is managed by the Banque centrale du Luxembourg. Paper money was first introduced in Luxembourg in 1854, with the issuance of banknotes by the State of Luxembourg. A key moment in the currency's history occurred in 1944, when the government issued new notes following World War II to replace those that had been damaged or lost during the conflict. Collectors are drawn to Luxembourg's banknotes for their unique designs and historical context. The 2005 series features prominent figures from Luxembourg's history, such as Grand Duke Henri, and showcases intricate security features, including watermarks and holograms, that are pivotal in modern currency design. Each note serves as a visual narrative of the nation’s identity and evolution over time.
