The survey is more than abstract and it looks like someone made it in a very old version of Microsoft Frontpage. Also, why didn't they add ALL the EU member countries in the demographic questions is beyond my understanding: it's not like they didn't have space! I'm from Romania and it's not present in the list.. does that mean we're out?

Why would you get a vote if you are not even a user of the Euro?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You can answer even if you're not from EU. It's even specified somewhere in the beginning.

There are cyrillic letters on the current euro banknotes just for the case that Bulgaria joins some day. There was even a big discussion if it should be EBPO (pronounced evro) or EYPO (pronounced euro). They stopped using countries on the coins for the same reason. Everything is designed with expansion in mind, thats why they should also have a say in the design.

Maybe it's only countries from the eurozone?

Nope. Bulgaria is in the list and they're "our brothers in arms".
