\"Imaginary<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most of the designs on currency notes of different countries usually have links to real life incidents, architecture, civilizations, religion, culture, and languages etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ex:<\/strong> New Swiss Franc Currency To Celebrate Nature and Science<\/em><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But the Euro Banknotes had something very interesting in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7 Euro banknotes that were released in the year 2002 had none of the above things and instead depicted fictional bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that in itself is quite interesting, what is even more amazing is that a designer in the Netherlands got inspired from these banknote bridges and brought them to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These fictional bridges have been transformed to real structures in a housing project in the Netherlands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now before getting into the developmental details of the real structure, let us take you to the history of the \u2018fictional bridges\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Little Throwback to The Story of Fictional Bridges on Euro Notes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The major reason why European Central Bank decided to go for fictional images on their currency notes was that it was impractical to incorporate landmarks from every European country as there were only 7 notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fictional bridges highlighted the major architectural styles of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As claimed by the European Central Bank, these images were a metaphor for collaboration and communication between Europe and the rest of the world, especially between European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The designing task was done by artist Robert Kalin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each bridge depicts certain periods in European cultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
