  Sounds similar to the 200 euro note. Though I did once manage to withdraw one from an ATM, and it was accepted at a grocery store without problems.

    Hm, I wanted to respond it seems more like the 500€ note, but it appears to not be produced anymore since 2019.

    Those noone really wanted to have to deal with.

    The 200 € note is the rarest one. When buying a car, I’ve actually used 500 € notes a few times. I’ve seen a 200 € note only once or twice. Can’t even remember when was the last time.

      At the Vienna main railway station (Wien Hbf) there is or was an ATM, operated by Erste Bank, where you can choose to get 200 euro notes.

    I’ve been seeing many people paying groceries with 100€ and 200€ notes lately

  Barely used doesn’t mean useless

  They’re not for regular people making regular transactions, it’s kinda intended for high value transactions

  Wealthy people selling things (semi-)privately to each other is one obvious one, things like those £50k watches. Sometimes these wealthy people want to do their spending with utmost discretion, so cash is king.

  Another is pawnbrokers, private currency exchanges and similar kinds of business that just have to deal with a lot more cash than is typical.

  Don’t get me wrong, its usage will definitely be in decline, but I don’t see them taking it out of rotation any sooner than the fiver

  Money laundering. Not even joking. Large denominations of cash is one of the more important ways of transferring value across borders for laundering purposes, which is why the largest number of bills in the most significant international currencies (USD and EUR, primarily) are in denominations mich larger than their day to day use value should suggest.

  I swear we recently had this same question, with the same argument and even phrasing, for $50 (USD) bills. What’s up with that?

    Bots. Bots as far as the eye can see.

    I think there’s a lot more LLMs/AI agents posting than you think. Not saying OP is one, but I am noting “a lot” (subjective) of accounts somehow only posting questions like this and only commenting in their own threads. No other activity. I can tag them in my app, easier to keep track of weird behaviours like that.

  I ask the same thing about the $100 note here. why? I don’t believe I’ve ever had a $100 note. it’s not stocked in tills at shops, i don’t even know if I have ever seen one in person. WHY?
