Euro Notes
I am not sure how to ask this, but here goes....I know there are
5,10,20,50,100, 200, & 500 Euro notes out there. In the USA there are 1,2,5,10,20,50, and 100 notes. In general the $20 note is the highest general note accepted for every day commerce in the USA. Yeah, I know the 50 and 100 are accepted in some stores. What is it like in Europe? Can I give a 20 Euro or a 50 Euro note for a bratwurst in Germany? Would any store accept as 200 or 500 Euro note? If I took 500 Euro from a FRA airport ATM what denominations would I get back? dennis |

Usually they will check it under a ultraviolet light that is posted on nearly every cachier but that's it. If I took 500 Euro from a FRA airport ATM what denominations would I get back? Depends on how the ATM was filled. I never got anything bigger than a 100 euro bill from an ATM so far. It often goes down to 5 euro bills, however. Jens |

ATMs tend to give out 50s and smaller notes. 100s, 200s and 500s are quite rare, but there's no reason to believe they won't be accepted. In smaller shops in the UK (and not just the very small family run businesses) they often have a policy of not accepting notes larger than £20. [The notices they put up often say this is due to forgeries.] I've never seen this in Euro-land though, but I wonder if it happens.

They might moan about having to give that much change. In a supermarket, 50s are perfectly acceptable. Would any store accept as 200 or 500 Euro note? If you buy something of that price, why not. Otherwhise they may moan about the change. Once I was behind a woman who paid with a 200 note for 5 Euro of shopping. The cashier said nothing.

ATMs tend to give out 50s and smaller notes. 100s, 200s and 500s are quite rare, but there's no reason to believe they won't be accepted. I always get 100's (unless I only request 100), sometimes I get a 200 or two. The machines do tend to try to dispense small notes but TBH I don't really want 1000 Euro in 20s and 50s, how many large notes you get obviously depends upon how long ago they filled the machine tim Regards -- Royaume Uni douze points http://www.wschwanke.de/ |

Euro Notes
Normally in cash dispensers you do not get more than 250 eur per day
with a maximum amount of 1000 to 1500 eur per month. it is hard to see 500 eur and 200 eur notes around people pay with 50 and 20 eur notes "Dennis G. Rears" ha scritto nel messaggio t...

If I took 500 Euro from a FRA airport ATM what denominations would I get back? The ATM close to my home gives 20 and 50 notes. These can be used usually without problems (this morning I paid a newspaper and a bus ticket with a 50, and nobody commented). In supermarkets the cashier may need a supervisor approval for accepting a 200 or a 500 - in a small store they probably won't have change anyway for a big note. I have used 500s only for large payments - tipically, for paying the rent of my holiday apartment. -- Luca Logi - Firenze - Italy e-mail: |

There is reason to believe they won't be accepted everywhere though: At least in the Netherlands you won't be able to buy petrol (gas) with anything larger than a 100 Euro note. Every gas station has posters that say so. Don't expect to pay a taxi ride with a large note (200 or 500) either. -- ------- Eddy www.couvreur.demon.nl when replying directly remove *nosp@m* from my e-mail adres!! bij direct antwoord *nosp@am* uit mijn e-mail adres verwijderen!! |
