last time i had one of those was in 2007, i never seen one in my hand ever since then, this promote money laundering that's why they are removing it
And after that they will ban the €200 note, then the €100 note.
Ridicolous!
The really big guys don't launder money with those bills.
This is mostly done with the use banks shady offshore companies and faked contracts etc.
Everyone knows this.
What we see here are the first steps of a slowly starting process of trying to abolish cash.
Otherwise NIRP will not be very effective.
