Nowadays less and less, cause mostly use card, but a fairly common bank note that I used to use.
I was lucky enough to have used the oldies 500€ bank notes…now those were the special ones
I have 3 500s right now
I have kids, i don’t see even 50 euro in ages 😀
I once tried to pay for something in Greece, and the cashier didn’t want to take it. Guessing because there is a high chance of being fake.
I always get very suspicious when someone has large amounts of cash. Drug traffic or counterfeiting immediately come to mind. I don’t know if this a reasonable believe.
I very rarely use cash, it has probably been years since I’ve seen one let alone used one myself.
maybe once a month or so
Yesterday
Once I have found 100 euro in my dormitory. It was a lucky day
A couple times since the euro was introduced maybe. Never paid anything with 200 or 500 euros banknotes .. i may have seen them once or twice.
50 is my biggest regular use bill. In fact I much prefer 20 bills. But nowadays I pay by card 90% of times.
But i’m sure it’s pretty popular among people that gets black money income.
You might be up to a culture shock when travelling to Switzerland. Grannies buy their groceries in the local Coop or Migros with these:
Nobody cares, except the occasional US Tourist nearly getting a heart attack.
Almost never now (not to mention the 200 €). Enough frequently in the early 2000s.
Today I use cash maybe twice in a month.
I use both 😂
Every year on my holiday.
Last week I used 200 even
Every time I withdraw money from an ATM
Having worked at a cash register, it seems that Russian tourists are pretty much the only people who ever pay with banknotes bigger than 50€.
Never, a lot of shops don’t even accept these notes. Most payments of >€100 are done electronically.
I still have a few 200’s. You can’t really get those out of an ATM anymore
I’d withdraw one every payday as my savings when I worked in Germany.
Never had an issue using them in the supermarket.
My bro in law struggled to spend his €500 note in Holland. Had to go to a bank to break it into smaller bills
Heard from people they are desired by people like drug dealers, as it’s so much less volume to carry/store… Could just be hearsay I guess
Max 0 times per life
It might differ from country to country. In France it’s fairly rare to use something above 50€, you’re suspected of using fraudulent bank notes when doing so in every day live. (Maybe it’s different in luxious places).
You’re more or less expected to use your debit card for high amount of money.
One thing that I hate is when ATM give me one of them, no one let me pay with them, usually I withdraw 80€ per time to have only 20€ banknotes.
Quite often. I have a few in my wallet right now
Everytime i light my Cuban cigar with one.
Once.
Maybe 3 times in my life. As far as I know no ATM in Finland gives 100€ bills.
