All of the designs look way to much like Euro knockoffs. The Danish notes
from the 1952-1970 series and the 1972-1996 series are some of my favourite
designs of any nation. Too bad they have to copy their neighbours now.

Oh, come on - they are quite different. :-) Of course, the notes depict
bridges, but what can you expect from a design contest where one of the
conditions was that the notes have to depict certain (actually existing)
bridges?

Must admit that I find it a little difficult to imagine what a note
could look like, just by seeing a "hand painted" draft version. But
unlike the new money in Azerbaijan, none of the drafts reminds me of
what we have.

The all bridges, matches the all architecture design scenario on the Euro
notes. Compared to even the current series of notes in Denmark, these
designs are lousy. And so goes Danish history, artistry and culture.
