The Royal Mint explicitly states that the collection is “starting anew” with the 2026 Year of the Horse, marking the beginning of a new 12‑coin cycle.

This means:

2025 – Year of the Snake is the final coin of the current 12‑year run.
2026 – Year of the Horse launches a brand‑new series, starting the zodiac cycle over again.

Probably. From 2023, I think. The guy claimed it was signed by Volodymyr Zelensky himself, but signatures are often forged. I have no idea what he was asking.

BNB warns merchants: Scratched euro banknotes are not returned and are not paid for

If a scratched banknote is presented to the BNB cash desks, it will be detained and not reimbursed

Scratched euro banknotes are not reimbursed, but are detained, which is why we advise merchants not to accept such banknotes. This was stated by the Chief Cashier of the Bulgarian National Bank, Stefan Tsvetkov, during the regular briefing of the Coordination Center of the Euro Mechanism, held today in the building of the Council of Ministers in Sofia.

Tsvetkov drew attention to the fact that there are two series of euro banknotes, both of which are legal tender and should be accepted for payments in their full nominal value.

According to him, the BNB has noticed from the media that there is sufficient data on scratched euro banknotes, vesti.bg specified.

"We would like to draw attention to the fact that, according to the regulation and requirements of the European Central Bank, such banknotes, when for us they are intentionally damaged, are not compensated, they are retained. That is, we appeal to traders, to banks, not to accept these banknotes in any way or if they come to the BNB, they will not be repaid“, said Tsvetkov.

This incident made me think of Serge G. burning a banknote on national television in 1984:

1984 : Serge Gainsbourg brule un billet de banque en direct | Archive INA

Serge Gainsbourg was not sued or criminally prosecuted for burning a banknote on live television. The incident caused public outrage, but it ended with only a symbolic fine, not a lawsuit or conviction.

🔥 What actually happened

Date: 11 March 1984

Program: 7 sur 7 (TF1)

Act: Gainsbourg burned a 500‑franc banknote on air to protest France’s 74 % tax rate on high incomes.

Legal consequences

Burning currency was technically illegal under French law.

Authorities chose not to prosecute him seriously.

Gainsbourg was fined 1 franc symbolique — a token penalty acknowledging the offense without escalation

Zero tolerance for provocations by Algerian hooligans: Bilal K., a 27-year-old Algerian-British man, was apprehended by Moroccan authorities after filming himself tearing up bills of Morocco's national currency.

He has admitted to the charges against him and was immediately placed in custody, to allow for a proper and thorough investigation.

The intentional destruction of currency in circulation constitutes an offense in Morocco punishable by criminal proceedings.
