So I guess using a £50 note is more comparable to using a 100 euro note. Last year when I went to Portugal, I had 2000 euros in 50 euro notes at the start. I threw them up in the air and rolled around like Scrooge McDuck . Which is sort of odd considering I handle £10k+ in cash on a near daily basis but... damnit, those were MY euros. My own! |

I don't think there is a €5 coin unless it's some sort of "special edition" thing. I never knew that £50 were uncommon, from working on tills and personal use I'd say €50 notes are no less common that €20 here.

Surely they must have £50 in British ATM's, If someones taking out £50 or more it would be more convenient? that way if someone takes out £100 they would just get two notes, which takes up less space making the ATM less likely to run out?

Much easier to stuff a grand or two under the mattress in £50's than Tenners.

High value bills are the ‘payment mechanism of choice’ for criminals and corrupt officials, according to Peter Sands, the former boss of British banking giant Standard Chartered.
£50 notes are only dispensed at a handful of cash machines in the UK, including in London’s wealthy Mayfair and Canary Wharf districts. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz3zmzdEdKM |

There is but you rarely see them as they are special occasion coins, at least our part of France.

In France if your bill is 4.90 euros and you give them a 5, they don't generally give you any change. Its fun watching English tourists waiting expectantly for it. On the other hand, if you bought something that cost 4.90 and only had 4.80 they would let you have it. Another tip for France is, if you want one item, always hold up your thumb. If you hold up your index finger the shop assistant will take that as meaning 2

"how Many would you like? " *holds up one finger* "Ahh yes, two it is! " ... I did actually live in France for a couple of months years ago, my now-wife (who has a French degree) was on her year abroad there. But I just stuck to her like glue the whole time. It wasn't in a tourist area like Paris, NO ONE spoke English... It was a strange experience for an ignorant Brit, really. |

From a money laundering perspective, £50 notes are not required. Most organisations won't accept payment of high value items in cash, so a £50 note is pointless

I personally don't understand why people need security pens / scanners etc... I've seen a tonne of fake notes, and you can basically tell by touch alone if a note is fake if you're used to handling cash. Even the best visual fakes "feel wrong". |
