6·22 days agoATM’s don’t even disperse them, as they cap at 50€ (so in order to acquire 800€ in 500€, 200€ & 100€ notes: I had to visit a bank to withdraw in person via a teller requesting specific denominations). Will electronic stores accept 2000€ in cash for an iPhone 18 consisting of x10 200€ or x4 500€ notes?

he would end up putting himself on the bills
The closest example of this is from the Chinese Yuan, where Mao Zedong is depicted in all denominations. (So, it’ll be the same if Trump decided to replace current issued $ into a new series with him on it).

You don’t hear stuff like “black person gets shot for holding an object” in Switzerland frequently, since that barely happens. The reason may be that the populace is homogenous (consisting of predominantly Caucasians) and less public distrust towards authorities.
The training for Swiss cops is 2 years (not that different from Denmark or Germany where an officer needs 3 years training before they’re considered a cop), compare that to California police training which lasts 6 months (like WTF? That’s not even long, let alone fit enough for the job).
Tap to pay only works when electricity itself remains online, but during a blackout forget it. Cash exists for a reason, it’s been around for a long time before smartphones were invented.

When I visited as a tourist, why do ATMs only disperse $50 bills upon withdrawing large sums (i.e. $500) when Australia clearly has a $100 bill? Why does it exist when barely anyone uses it for regular transactions?

Brunei has a B$1000 bill, although they stopped printing it (but exists):

It’s worth $7,874
