Since our stupid currency is now worth toilet paper, I decided to exchange what was left from my savings for Euros, before it got worse.
I learned the 500 euro notes were cheaper than the rest so I bought them, are these are accepted normally in stores in Europe? what do people normally use these for?, pic very related.

They made damn sure we don't by closing the border
50€ are the highest shops casually accept
I can't see a shop accepting higher note without raising a brow if they don't know you
>>52203932
What happened to your currency?
if you do go to europe break it up
>>52204256
I kinda knew it, no wonder there were cheaper.
If I go to a bank, will they exchange them for 50€ notes? I'm planning to visit Europe next summer, to be honest

>Exchange offices in the UK have stopped selling 500 euro banknotes because of their use by money launderers.
>The Serious Organised Crime Agency says 90% of the notes sold in the UK are in the hands of organised crime
Paying with them will raise eyebrows and some shops may refuse you, but you can exchange them in any bank, unless it's under 12,000 €
>>52204387
i think if someone foreign shows up with €500 bills they'd call the police
>>52204311
Our economy basically relies on petroleum exports so if it gets cheaper, our currency does it as well.

This looks very problematic, should've bought the more expensive 50 euro notes then, damn

Bad news bro, the Euro is worthless too.

You can buy a shit ton of oil now. If it ever goes back to 60$, at least, you made 50%.

Do the self check out machines at supermarkets accept the 500s?

Why in the world would you do this shit? Swiss franc or the sterling. Why would you pick a banana currency?
>>52204709
Wait until tomorrow, f.am
>>52204678
No only up to 200 i think
>>52204387
That's an interesting question and I looked it up, apparently CIC banks have money machines that accept 500 notes change for a 2€ fee, also if you insist enough banks cant refuse if they do have the means to detect that your note is fake.

>>52204779
I used to get paid in bills so ive seen a few
they are really big to a 5 10 or 20€ bill
Wow and I thought the AUD was a shit currency...

What's the highest USD note though? Do people normally use it?
>>52204856
They don't have Cents.
>>52204903
100
There were larger notes like a billion years ago but we realized that was stupid.
>>52204903
100$? It's used but you have to remember that our currency is more e-money instead of physical. 20s are extremely popular over here but at the same time the banana republic of Colombia is known for counterfeits. 10s are also common but things like 5s are less seen over here
>>52204990
Even the 100$ is a stupid idea since few places even take them
>>52205126
Yes they do. The fuck do you live, Compton?
>>52205152
Because places do want to deal with larger bills and only in larger chains
It makes absolutely no sense to take a 100$ anywhere in this day and age. Anything over 20$s? Don't be that chump who takes out the 100$...
>>52205209
I have never had a problem paying with a hundred dollar bill anywhere.
Not even memeing at this point: are you black or some kind of Mexican?
Your best bet for accepting those notes are in Germany. Here people frequently buy TV's and Refrigerators with cash.
>>52205250
>Not even memeing at this point: are you black or some kind of Mexican?
Funny thing is that majority of 100$ holders are minorities. Kinda obvious? Ones with bank issues are the ones without a card

Why would you want an uncomfortable ass wallet overflowing with tens and 20s when 50s and 100s exist?
I bet you have a fucked up and lopsided dad ass.
>>52204903
20s are the only sensible choice, 100s are pretty rare
>>52204903
Our highest note is £50 in the UK, but you will almost never see it used in circulation. I'm 24, and I've seen it only a handful of times.

>>52205432
Wrong. 50s are the ideal bill, 20s are 90s tier.
>>52205428
why would your wallet be overflowing with cash of any denomination? there's no reason to carry more than $1-200 max on you at once, use a fucking credit card for larger purchases
>>52203932

>>52205432
That and 50s are a bit of an oddball bill
>>52205433
Same thing in the US
>>52205456
>$50s
even more rare than $100s
>>52205466
Because sometimes I want to pay cash at a bar or buy an eight ball of blow.
>>52205484
>That and 50s are a bit of an oddball bill
20s are dispensed at atms, usually you have to go to a bank for 50+
>>52205332

We don't use debt as a currency though. Also our national banking system is very stable (not counting overseas investments) and the government guarantees for 100k per customer if a bank should default.
>>52205882
>and the government guarantees for 100k per customer if a bank should default.
Do you think that's unique or even high? It isn't, that's shit tier depository insurance.
>>52205882
>We don't use debt as a currency though.
A debit card is a more convenient way of spending money than carrying cash around all the time. You put your cash (or a check) into a checking account, and you can swipe your debit card to deduct money from that account to pay for your purchases.
> Also our national banking system is very stable
Of course it is just like our own?
>and the government guarantees for 100k per customer if a bank should default.
FDIC does the same thing
But a German telling that they are not using a card and a pad? They are not German...
>>52206013
>FDIC does the same thing
Not true, the FDIC guarantees 250,000.
>>52206013
I'd rather use a credit card than a debit card. You basically get to float the money you spent. Fraudulent activities don't touch your checking account.
Just make sure you pay the fucking thing off.
>>52205743
You can use 500€ in most shops near the Champs Elysées and in rich areas without raising an eyebrow. If you have your old bank slips showing your savings, you could open a bank account and deposit the money on it.
If you can prove you earned that money legally, you can deposit them in your account in your bank's ATM if you already have a European account.
>>52206052
My point
>>52206054
>Fraudulent activities don't touch your checking account.
You can monitor the same way via smartphone app
>>52205932
Why are you jelly tho
>>52206055
Well, that's great, I was actually planning to land In Paris first.
I do have my bank slips, although I'm not sure how easy would be opening a bank account for a tourist in Europe.
>>52206013
A debit card can't go into the red so I can't make any debts with it. That's what I meant. I use mine too but i'm paid off the books in my second job so I also have relatively large amounts of cash available.
Also I fucked up the 100k part. That is the private depository insurance. The government announced an unlimited guarantee.
>>52204903
I've never seen anyone use higher than a $100. They're uncommon but not unheard of. Mostly people use $20 bills.
>>52204574
a-at least steam uses pesos now, right fellas?
>Americucks literally use 1$ shills
>>52206349
>Germany literally surrendered its own currency to join the cuckzone
>>52205882
>We don't use debt as a currency
>euro
The euro zone is sitting at something like 92% debt (as a percentage of GDP). Which means that EVERY European country that doesn't use the Euro has a lower debt. Admittedly, Germany did an excellent job with the D-mark. But even so, it simply isn't possible to run an economy well when half of the countries in the monetary union spend money frivolously and put themselves into catastrophic debt the second you let your eyes off them.
>>52206407
Actually we surrendered our currency to get the east back.
>>52206233
If you opened an account in a bank present in your country as well, you could use it to keep your savings. Just be sure they have a physical place you can go to deposit the money in your city, unless you prefer to transfer it from your colombian bank to the european one.
Then why do rappers always have big bundles of 100s in their pockets??
>>52206419
I'm not talking about makro economics. I'm talking about the average German vs the average American.
>>52203932
500 euro notes are for putting into the ATM or buying expensive shit.
While nearly all grocery stores have those little scanner things to check if the note is real, generally, there is nothing you can buy where the cashier won't give you the stink eye for paying with a 500.
>>52204903
$100s are our biggest notes. I see dozens every day, but I sell guns (at a federally licenced dealer), and people prefer to pay cash for guns, because then there's no Visa bill to argue with them when they lie to their wives about how much they spent.
>>52205126

>>52205567
Cash is not just for the poor. Cash is for people who don't like having to deal with calling to lift their fraud prevention to place a large purchase, for people who have an easier time visualizing their expenses when everything is doled out in physical form (Cash carriers are documented to buy less extra crap they don't really need), and for people who don't wish to share a record of their purchase amount with other people.
I have a customer who has on more than one occasion dropped over 3 grand on German rifle scopes in crisp $100 bills, he purchased his house with a cashier's cheque for 1.6 million USD, and daily drives a Porsche Carrera GTS that he purchased with a briefcase full of cash. He is a realestate agent, and often has cash because his principle customers (often Potato or Beet farmers) pay for the vacation properties they buy through him in cash, resulting in him collecting commission in cash.
Potato farmers are rich as shit, even if they drive rusty pickup trucks and dress in Wranglers, boots, and flannel, my biggest commission was selling a 1907 Holland and Holland double in .500/450 NE to a potato farmer who was going to Safari.
My 5% cut was $26,000.
Cash.
I used to work at the entrance of a nightclub at weekends and one time this Turkwhore came to pay for 5€ entry with a 500€ bill. The bouncers were all Turkcucks and tried to flirt with anything that has tits so I had to accept the bill because she's a lady and you gotta be nice to them.
>>52203932
>Investing in the same currency that southern Europe uses
Might as well invest in any banana republic currency
>>52206602
That must have sucked making change.
Had you collected enough to cover, or did you have to send for more cash from the office?
>>52206587
How expensive was that gun my man
Also would you fight for the second amendment

>mfw steam sale soon

>Since our stupid currency is now worth toilet paper
how and why?
>>52206690
Just over half a mil, $520,000.
I'm confident I won't have to fight for the second amendment, I've done my part to introduce 70 million new people to gun ownership since 2008, but I've done enough government paperwork to know that I can't fight for the second amendment.
The fight for the second amendment would be the fight that grows from the reaction to what will happen to me and men like me.
I'm too well documented of an entity to do anything but wake up to a raid that I can't resist without causing the deaths of the rest of my family, if push comes to shove.
But by introducing neophytes to their gun rights, selling 50 AR-15s just to people who've never owned one just since that act of terrorism in California, and in participating in the trillion dollar private arms industry, I help to create an environment where the Left makes noises about gun control to please the loudest idiots in their base, but never actually does anything about it because they know it will gut their political power in bastion states like my native Minnesota.
Gun rights are a culture war. The best thing I can do to fight for them is help to make guns ubiquitous.

That would depend on the bank I guess. But if you go to the Banco de España, they do it.
And yes, keep in mind that most stores won't take 200s or 500s notes.
>>52207078
I don't have a philosophical objection to the idea of a guilty man being put to death, but I don't trust our justice system to never get it wrong.
So I don't support the death penalty.
>>52207186
A few things. I'm about 10 kilos overweight, I drink too much, and I get nervous meeting new people in undefined social situations.

>>52206804
The peso to dollar exchange rate used to hover around 1800-2000 pesos per dolar, but during the last 2 years it has skyrocketed to 3000-3200 pesos per dollar.
Of course, this has dissuaded me from buying any more games and foreign stuff except from Steam during sales (where you can pay with pesos now).
>>52207078
>>52207186
I bet you all think that your government has a legal duty to aid or protect you if you are in trouble.
I bet that you think that the good of the politicians, the good of the newsman, the good of the violent criminal stands above the good of the individual.
I bet you've delegated responsibility for your own well being to dozens of institutions with nary a though to why it might be advantageous for you to be responsible for yourself.
I bet you think that taking away the rights and property of the law abiding can keep criminals from performing mayhem, that your philosophy of control isn't in it's death throws for technological reasons anyways.
>>52203932
>are these are accepted normally in stores in Europe?
No, but there are banks for the goyim, everywhere in a city.
>what do people normally use these for?
Some people use them once in 5 to 10 years when they buy expensive stuff and ofc for showing off your wealth like criminal Turks, Yugos or Arabs do.
>>52205456
20 is the most sensible bill.
>>52204387
In Slovakia any bank will exchange 500€ bill for anything u want.

It's legitimate money and you can use it at least in Funland when shopping. You can't pay for your bus ride and stuff like that though, they hardly accept even 50 euros.
I don't understand why 500 Euro notes should even exist. It can only aid criminals, that's its only function.
The highest denomination banknote here is £50
