Keep in mind that notes higher than €50 are often rejected, especially in smaler shops. Because their is simply not enough change when you show up with €100, €200 or even €500 when you just buy something for a few euros.

If you exchange your money for Euro *always!!!* ask for smaller notes. Never take higher note than 100 €. Higher notes are not needed as you will normally spend smaller amounts (for Americans - how often you pay your meal with 500 $ note...). Many shops wont accept higher notes because they may not have enough money for exchange. And last but not least higher notes (200 and 500 €) have bad reputation of being favourite subject to forgery.

Usually you will not have difficulties with notes up to 100 €. It may be impossible to buy two buns with a 100 € note. Many gas stations advertise at the entry, that you can not pay with 200 or 500 € notes (fear of robbery or fraud).

The cash thing depends a lot where you are in Europe. In Scandinavia cards are definitely more common way to pay than cash but Eastern and Southern Europe cash is still preferred. And also it's good to know that in some countries, at least in Finland and Netherlands, 1 and 2 cent euro coins are not in use and the prices are counted to closest 5 cent.

Be careful when withdrawing Euros from an ATM with a debit card. If you have a daily withdrawal limit (say $500), don't forget to calculate the equivalent in Euros, and be careful to stay within that limit. I overlooked this while in Vienna last year, and attempted to withdraw 400 Euros (while thinking "dollars") at one time. Of course, the ATM would not process the withdrawal, but the monitor didn't indicate why, except to say "request refused" or something like that. I tried this several times, at several different ATMs, always getting the same result. This made me think that my bank had stopped payment. It took a lot of wasted time, and a very, very expensive long distance call to my bank (including being put on 'hold"), only to find out that all I had to do was request a smaller amount. Live and learn!

In some parts of Europe (UK and Ireland, and I think also Cyprus and perhaps Malta) we use the decimal point and the comma as a thousands separator, the same as North America. Continental Europe uses the comma as the decimal mark, and either a point, an apostrophe, or a thin space as a thousands separator.

Thanks

We do use a lot of cash in the UK.... You always pay with cash in pubs for example

Love this woltersworld videos, I am seasoned traveler but you can always learn more, am off to save the Spanish economy by doing a Masters Degree.

They are introducing new notes, the new EUROPA 5-ers and 10-ers are already in use, the others are for the nex years, but the old ones are still valid. In some places, you will hardly find any old notes, however. The theme is the same, it's the same imaginary bridge or window as on the older ones, and the base colour is the same, too, but it's a little more colourful, now. More info and pics can be found on the website of the ECB, the European Central Bank. 200 and 500 euro notes are very rare, and are refused in many shops, certainly if you only buy a small item with it. 5 to 50 are the most common, 100 is rising in popularity.

Very helpful. Years later.

cool info

thanks for this :)

As a British viewer just a reminder that not all the continent (or EU) uses the Euro. As well as the UK other countries keeping their own currency include: Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. Some of these (like the Scandinavian countries have very different value to the base unit. I would agree with the comments about larger Euro notes. They aren't necessary and can become a liability. I even had a problem once here in the UK (where most people will even have a few notes in a draw at home from their last vacation) getting a 100 Euro note (that I accepted from a client) exchanged.Like your channel. An interesting outside viewpoint.

In the Netherlands 1 and 2 cent coins aren't accepted in stores. They cost too much to exchange or have in the register or something. So they round up or down at the register. 1,99 becomes 2,00. 1, 96 becomes 1,95. etc.

@barvdw

1 and 2 ct should be accepted as tender, even if you have to do some persuasion, but won't change the rounding of the total bill, so you would still have to fork out 5 1ct, or 2 2ct and a 1ct for something rounded to the next 5 ct, and if they have to return on your payment, you will get them back almost certainly. Luckily, with the rounding, you will almost never get them in the first place.

@PGraveDigger1

Not true. Something priced 1,99 euros will get rounded up to 2 euros, but if you can pay exactly 1 euro and 99 cents, they have to accept it in the Netherlands. They will be very annoyed, but legally they can't refuse.

The comma-vs-dot thing is why (I'm fairly sure) the SI thousands separator is a space - then you can use whatever you like for your decimal sign. Of course, if you go further east into Pakistan or India you might encounter the lakh/crore system, and have numbers grouped into thousands, with two-digit groupings above 100000.

That is not so. The original idea of legal tender was to force everybody to accept paper money as as good as silver coins. Today many retailers want to accept only electronic payments like debit cards or mobile pay, but cash being legal tender prevents this.

Then, it took about three years to get the system up and running because the economy is so very big. It just simply takes time to produce over a billion new cards, about 15 million new point-of-sale terminals, all the software updated with every merchant and every bank and every machine where a card could be used, and so on, and then installing it all, everywhere. And it's still not complete in some places...
