    The zero euro note is meant to be a collectible. It has no financial value. 💵💰

    Check your coins. At least here in Germany, you constantly find euro coins from other countries in your wallet.
    But Germany is very central located which increases the probability, of course.
    But its actually pretty cool. :D

    What I love about the coins is that every country have their own and some rare collectible design. And it's amazing to see how it circulate inside Europe hands to hands. For exemple, after watching your video I just checked : I have many spanish, german, and french coins with 1 collectible 2 euros coin that worth 10 euros today.

      Funny, you never really notice it unless you set down and check. So a random sampling from my (German) wallet: 5 German coins, 2 Austrian, 1 French, 1 Cyprian, 1 Finnish, 1 Dutch, 1 Spanish. That Cyprian one was quite unexpected.

    In 2002 I worked in a restaurant and I was constantly receiving €100, €200 and €500 notes,
    several times a day, but today you rarely find them over €50 only if you go get a lot of money from the bank.
    They do not mention another important characteristic of the notes, the notes are completely smooth with exception of those lines on the edges so people who are used to handling bills can identify some counterfeit bills just by the touch.
    If you collect coins you will have a bad time, especially if you're one of those picky collectors, not only the coins are different from country to country, but a lot of countries do commemorative coins and even the coins in circulation have differences depending on the year they were issued, the design is constantly changing.

    When I was a student, I worked in a bank as a summer job... It's the only time I've seen the 200€ and 500€ bills, even the 100€ bills is quite rare. The 50€ is not rare but uncommon in my country as people tends to use debit card for large payment. Only 5€, 10€ and 20€ bills are common.

    When I was younger I loved looking at the back of coins when I was sent to pick up bread, it felt very special when I came upon another country's design. I remember trying to imagine how this german 2€ had landed in Normandie, picturing a german family in vacation or a trucker paying his coffee with pockets full of coins from differant crountries he had travelled across.

    is a great idea to sell a 0 euro note to tourists and collectors. You get an official note with all security features but you can only sell it to collectors. Maybe you have a rare one with you then you make a profit. Or you can frame it and hang it on the wall. ;-)

    Denmark is easily, and I say, easily able to convert to EURO, as our economy is constantly on top of the asked for values, but we don't want to have to pay for the southern countries (We declined in a late vote), which haven't got the asked for discipline to keep up their economies to a reasonable standard. Greece changed to Euro and had a Feast until reality struck and they had to ask for huge, enormous loans from EU! Italy and Spain are known for absurd economies, so why should we leave our stable Kroner?

    I got a 500€ note as a collector in 2008, but I had to ask for it at a bank and sign a form. I have several 200€ too, but all of them are legal tender. Man, if you're in Finland right now, I feel impossible if not completely broke, that you haven't hold of a 100 euro banknote before, unless you live in a cashless society. Spain and Germany use lots of cash, in Spain because we're damn poor, and in Germany because they don't trust in electronic means of payment. For example my mom bought a piece of furniture last week, and paid with 3 bills of 100€ and some fifties.

    5:15 that's an urban myth. The higest dollar note isn't the 100 US-$, there are also US$ 500, US$ 1000, US$ 10k and a US$ 100k note in existance - even though not all of them were given out to the public, they still have their value if you get one. The US$ isn't capped at 100.

    On the currency, and economic criteria, this was not taken into account in the EU, the introduction was a political decision.
    The Europe for the Euro consisted of independent countries with their own economy and money, the problem was that in the north the countries had a strong economy compared to the southern countries within Europe, which is also reflected in the currency, the 500,000 lira does not just fall out of the sky.
    If you combine a strong and weak economy into a shared economy then you get an average, the average will always be much lower than the previously strong economy, so for the Northern European countries it was an economic disaster.
    For the southern countries, all of a sudden they had money that had real value, and someone who never had money and suddenly got rich is going to spend, all the money gone, a lot of debt and they are economically weak again
    The euro was a disaster in the making.

      It's not wrong. By joining the EU, Sweden was obliged to adopt Euros, because it didn't sign an opt-out agreement like UK or Denmark. So it must adopt Euros, but because people don't want to, they intentionally fail to meet the criteria. So the fact is that they still don't meet the criteria, so the video is true.

    I think nowadays are impractical. If you wanna buy something expensive you use a card. People use up to 50 for everyday life. 100 is a bit more rare but it has a reason of existance for sure. Over 100 is debateable, although with this fucking inflation we will soon be needing the 500 euro bill for sure.
