      Aren’t those notes banned precisely for the reason of money laundering? It has been twenty years since I’ve seen €500 note.

      I had the idea years ago that we should ban notes outright, it would have to be coins and the highest denomination would be €50. You can still buy stuff that you’d need cash for, but it would make the black/shadow-economy more cumbersome. Or you’d get really strong criminals. 🙃

        Man what do you have against people using cash, Banks are untrustworthy as fuck. Who cares if “illegal transactions” occur, taxation is fucking theft anyways.
