Is the new 200€ bill that common? - Lemmy.World

I know that the 500€ bill ceases to exist on the new series of bank notes (as they capped it at 200€) variant but those who possess the older series with that denomination can still use it as legal tender, but is it that common for Europeans to have a 200€ in their wallet? 200€ is the second highest one, although the older 500€ bill is no longer in circulation. Do ATM’s disperse either 500 & 200€ bills regarding cash withdrawals within that amount or do they just give that amount in smaller denominations equating to that much?

They’re very uncommon. I once got paid cash for fruit picking in France. It was the first and only time I carried 200 euro notes. No shop accepts them. ATMs give out 50 euro notes max.

Will electronic stores accept either 100 or 200€ bills when purchasing an iPhone for 1,500€ upon paying in cash?

Having worked in one - yes, it’s no problem at all. If it’s too much (I think 3k was the threshold), a manager has to come and do a second run in the counterfeit detection machine, so it might take a while.
(Answering for Germany though, might be different in France)
