New things are always exciting, anf for Eurochange, in our world, the world of currencies, the release of new notes (bills) is as exiting as it gets. Lots of countries release notes every year but is not common for the most common currencies to update their notes. At Eurochange we not just exchange currencies, we also like what we do and everything that goes on around it. And this is a topic that we really enjoy. Let´s check the new notes 2024.
There are many factors that are involved in the creation of a new bank note. We can summarize them in 3: security, design, and event. As the technology advances there are new security measures for the notes and new ways of counterfeit them. That’s why sometimes countries decided to change their notes in order to protect them. Design will be another reason to “update” a note. Some of the world´s notes were designed decades ago, and some of them look out of date, so countries create new notes. And there is another reason, historical events. Some events change the world, and the currencies. When Queen Elizabeth died the pound suffered a redesign in order to show King Charles on the new notes. Some countries also decide to print special notes to commemorate special events.
As we
mentioned just now, the pound is one of the notes that are going to change in
the near future. Another common world currency as the Japanese Yen is also
going to change in this 2024. But we are not just going to tell you about these
changes, we would like to show you and tell you when, why and how.
King Charles Sterling Pounds
Most of you probably seen sterling pounds before, many of you probably used them on the past if you traveled to the UK, and for the longest time those pounds were identified with Queen Elizabeth´s image. But many of you probably did not know that Queen Elizabeth held the world record for appearing in most notes from different countries, we will talk about this some other time. But now we are focusing on the new pounds and when, why, and how they will change.
The pound will change to show the new King of England, King Charles. The new notes 2024 pounds will be in circulation mid-2024, and the main reason for their change in design its to commemorate the actual head of the state and the commonwealth, King Charles. All the sterling pounds will now show King Charles instead of Queen Elizabeth. A fun fact about these new notes is that King Charles will be facing the opposite way than Queen Elizabeth did, and this is due an old tradition that states that each change on the currency has to change the way the monarch faces. Check here the new pounds
Japan is country that holds their culture and tradition in a high value. Even there is counterfeit of every currency out there, the Japanese Yen is not a common counterfeited currency. But also, the Japanese Yen did not change as much other currencies with the past of time. Last redesign was in 2004 and it was not a complete renewal of their notes. The 10.000-yen design is being the same since 1984 for example. And that proofs they are a proud culture and tradition.
In this case there all the factors for a new currency design converge. By mid-July 2024 the new Japanese yen banknotes will be in circulation. The new notes 2024 will incorporate new security measures as hologram technology to prevent counterfeiting. The new design will incorporate the image of some of the most recognized faces in Japan, as the founder of the first Japan National Bank, or the founder of the women´s college Tsuda University. But also, this change is due to the revealing of the new era in Japan, Reiwa, under the new emperor’s reign. As a new era begins, the new notes will represent change, advanced and future for Japan. More info about this release here.
At
Eurochange we make sure to stay on top of what is going on in our industry, so we are not only doing research about the new notes 2024 to show you about these changes we train our Money Agents about all the currencies: past, present, and future. Our company
culture goes further about this topic, and we don’t just exchange the current currencies in circulation, but also, we encourage all of you Eurochangers to bring the currencies you have no matter when and where they from. We will at
least give you some info about them free of charge, and maybe we can exchange them for you.
Happy Weekend Eurochangers
As you all know Eurochange is a leader in the currency exchange market. And we tell you about many things in this blog week after week, but this week we decided to give you a history lesson, more precisely the currencies exchange history.
The United
States of America is not one of the oldest countries in the world, but it has been
a key component is the currency exchange. Most of the important events that changed
the currency exchange history will take place in the US. Let´s see those moments so important for the currency exchange history.
The trade goes back as back as history does, it was the way of living. But it was not until medieval times that banks were born. But even banks existed there was not a way to trade currencies because it was not a standard.
Gold Standard
The gold standard will be what we know today as the rate. Each currency value was directly related to the price of gold. This way the weight of gold you could buy with your currency will be as much as you could sell that gold and get paid in another currency. Simple, neat, easy, clean…. Wrong.
World War I
When the World War I started, in order to be able to be able to afford the military projects, most world powers printed more money. By doing so, the value of the gold was no longer a good standard, it´s prize was too volatile depending on the country or the currency. The gold standard returned between wars, but it was finally gone by 1939.
1944
22 of July 1944, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA. A hot summer day when the allied members decided that the US dollar will replace gold as the standard for currency exchange. But it had a twist, the US dollar was worth the equivalent in gold. All was good will 1971 when Richard Nixon stopped the gold sales since the US was no longer able to back up all the gold from the central banks around the world.
This time the “meeting” took place at an iconic place, the Smithsonian. A new treaty was made based on the one from Bretton Woods. The decision was to link the prize of gold officially to the dollar at 38$ per ounce. The idea was great, this way all the currencies will have their own rate with the dollar and the dollar with the gold. Wrong again! The value of the US dollar collapsed in a few months, but from this wrong, a lesson was learned, and then…
1985
Back to a
luxurious place, the Plaza Hotel in New York where Japan, the German Federal Republic,
France, and the United Kingdom took a drastic decision: Devaluate the US
dollar. Who would think that making money
worth less was the answer? Well, they did, and they were right. On September 22nd
by doing so the United States fixed their deficit and helped coming back from
the 80´s recession. This helped international commerce and the result was a
bigger level of currency exchanges.
From that point on is easy to know what happened: technology. With the improvements of technology every day the information flows much faster and easy to receive and understand. The globalization made possible that each currency has a value in another currency, and we do not need to evaluate if that comes from the dollar, or gold, or anything else. Also, that’s our job. At Eurochange we take all those factors and many more into account to offer you amazing rates to exchange your currencies. Why calculate 3 times if you can just see how much your money is worth in another currency just by clicking (the word clicking its actually clickable and you will be able to calculate any currency exchange with the euro)
We hope you

into euros or vice versa, as we said that´s what we are here for, so visit us,
call us or contact us, and we will provide you with the best customer service

Happy New Years
Is not a typo,
we really meant to say Happy New Years and we will show you why in the next
lines. We are so used to celebrate New Years on January 1st, but
some of you from other parts of the world will disagree with us about that
date.
There are
more than 20 different New Years around the globe, and we decided to take a look
at some of those new years’ celebrations. Let’s go.
Gregorian Calendar
The most
known new year, as we said in the intro, is the one that falls into January 1st.
Is the one that corresponds to the Gregorian Calendar and is called like that
because it was the pope Gregory XIII who promote that initiative on 1582 in
Europe. As many other traditions, the calendar was exported from Europe to the
rest of the world and that is why many countries use that calendar and
celebrate new years on January 1st.
Chinese New Year
Probably the most famous new years after the one we just talked about. One curiosity about this celebration is that doesn’t fall on the same day every year. The Chinese New Year is celebrated during the first new moon after the winter solstice, so usually falls in January or February. Some other curiosities are that lasts more than a week and each year is dedicated to one of the 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac.
Islamic New Year
Different
to the Gregorian calendar, the Islamic calendar only 354 days so, as the Chinese
New Year, the Islamic New Year falls under a different day each year if we look
at it from the Gregorian calendar. The celebrations start on the sunset the
before the first day of the Islamic year but is not the kind of celebration we
are used to. The Muharram, as it´s called, is more an introspect celebration
with family, prays and meditation.
Jewish New Year
If we look
at the dates from an occidental calendar point of view, this is another new
year that is not fixed on the calendar. The Jewish New Year is based on the
phases of the moon, and usually falls in autumn during the months of September or
October according to the occidental calendar. Kinda similar to the Islamic New
Year, starts on the eve of the new year, followed by the Yom Kippur (Day of
Reconciliation). On the night of the Rosh Hashaná, that is how is called,
people eat sweet fruits to start a new year with a sweet taste.
Happy New Year to all
From Eurochange we would like to wish you a happy new year to all of you no matter where you from. Each year we have the pleasure to have clients from all over the world and for every culture out there, that is why we will love for you all to have an amazing 2024 no matter when starts.

December´s long Holliday Weekend
This week we are having one of the most expected days for everyone in Spain, we are talking about the Holliday weekend that goes from December 6th until December 10th , which is called December´s long weekend. This is what we call in bridge. But why is it called a bridge? And which holidays include? What to do during these days? Well let’s explain all this.
In Spain we call a bridge to what is known in English as a long weekend. That usually means that a holiday falls into a Monday or a Friday. But in Spain is also called when a holiday falls into Tuesday or Thursday, since many people take the day off in the middle to enjoy a much longer weekend. That is where the term Bridge comes from, because is like we build a bridge between the 2 holidays taking that extra day off.
In this case the 2 holidays are the 6th and the 8th of December. This year those 2 holidays are on a Wednesday and a Friday, which allowed many people to take Thursday off and enjoy a 5 days weekend.
December 6th is the day of the Spanish Constitution. In Spain we celebrate the constitution, which is the document where all Spanish rights and obligations are written. On December 6th, 1978, the Spanish citizens voted in favor of this document, and that is why is celebrated on this date.
December 8th is the day of the Immaculate Concepcion. This is a religious holiday that celebrates the birth of the Virgin Mary, mother of Christ. An many holidays, this one has its origins on the Christian religion.
Those 2 holidays are considered unmovable, which means that doesn’t matter on which day of the week they fall, that’s the day the holiday will take place.
Well, there isn’t enough entries in this blog to show you how much Spain has to offer during this weekend. But what I can tell you is what Spanish families do. Is it common in Spain to spend these holidays decorating the houses for Christmas. Also, most cities already have the Christmas decorations up. There are plenty Christmas markets in a lot of Spanish cities which are full of Christmas food, decorations and other things celebrating the magic of Christmas.
Long weekends are always a perfect excuse to travel. Many Spanish people used this one to travel all over the world and many of them used Eurochange to exchange their euros into foreign currencies. At the same time, many people for overseas know of the existence of this long weekend in Spain (as most of you know) and they feel like a perfect opportunity to visit our county. For those, Eurochange gives them the chance to exchange dollars or exchange pound or exchange any foreign currency into euros at any of our offices around Spain. So, if you are in Spain enjoying this long weekend or you return from it, make sure you come to Eurochange for all your currencies ‘needs.
