That's right. But didn't Finland and Germany have something as well?

Not that I'm aware of.

Finnish banknotes (all the same size) didn't have actual braille but
rather an easily distinguishable pattern of large rings in raised
print specific for each denomination (from one ring in the FIM 10 to
five in the FIM 1000). For instance Estonian banknotes (also all the
same size, and practically the same size as the old Finnish ones) have
similar features indicated with dots and dashes.

Never actually come across those, thanks for the information. Just makes it
more surprising that Euros don't.
