FRANKFURT—The European Central Bank said on Monday it plans to redesign the euro’s banknotes over the next three years to make them “more relatable” to Europeans of all ages and backgrounds.

ECB focus groups will now gather suggestions about the overarching theme of the new banknotes from the public in the 19 countries that share the euro, the ECB said.
