Nice try
I had a few pass my hands, mostly from yacht people…
I have some extra. I can send it to you, if you just send me your credit card number, full name, social security number, your full address and pictures of your pets.
(No seriously don’t do it, I don’t want to be responsible for some silly person getting scammed in the internet.)
Bulgarian counterfeit mafia
The clue is in the name
Why
Your local drug dealer.
Casinos might have them
Banks in Turkey (I assume the same with other non-EU banks) still give those if you draw big amounts from your Euro accounts from the bank branch (ATMs don’t give those, I assume they are not compatible or the bank doesn’t want to risk it)
Ask the Mafia. Apparently most of the notes are bundled and passed between them.
With the current inflation this will be the new 100€ bill soon.
best bet is ebay, but its gonna cost more than 500€ obviously
I put one aside. I got it from my father a long time ago, from the time when cash was used more as a gift.
Find a Bulgarian real estate broker and help them break down their banknotes.
I’ve had one exactly once. My landlord 20 years ago paid back the security deposit for the apartment in cash.
The first time I saw one was maybe a year after the Euro coins/notes were introduced. A guy dressed in a well-fitting suit paid for his groceries at Lidl with one. I was a couple spots behind him on the queue, and heard small gasps of excitement, like when your football team breaks into the opponent’s penalty area. Not only the customers, but also the cashiers from the other aisles, came to look as the thing was solemnly laid into the cash register drawer.
They were called Bin Ladens in Spain, since they couldn’t be found.
I never seen those in my life lol I did not realised is so rare until I read comments 😀
Try at your bank, but don’t forget to ask them how you would be able to exchange it if you need to. Due to moneylaundring it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find places where they are accepted, and you might need to show how you got it.
We had one in our recent vacation in the Amalfi Coast – received as a gift at our wedding several years ago. It was such a pain to get rid of it…Literally no one wanted to take it and we did some research and understood why in the end.
To all people saying that only criminals use these banknotes I have to say one thing. Soon because of the inflation 500€ is not going to be seen as a large sum of money. One family going to a supermarket once a week is going to be equal to 350-400€.
Get into Hungarian politics
Between 2000 and 2024, inflation removed about half the value of our money. The need for 500 Euro bills will come back, if our currency survives another 30-50 years 😀
Some sketchy car dealerships.
You can find them in Serbia
When my great Oma died, I got 500€ in inheritance.
I’m not saying you should go push anyone down the stairs or anything but you know… you could enjoy the money from jail if you’re really impatient.
Ask your nearest drug dealer, pimp or banker
Just print it yourself. I’ve done that before
I work in a store in Finland and we have old people try to pay with these like once a month. And we don’t accept if they don’t buy stuff worth at least 300e.
Your local Mafia boss may still have some lying around, I’m sure you can figure out a deal to buy one off of them
I’ve only ever seen them irl at a casino
it is easier to make the 50s, don’t waste your time with the 500s
I need to get my hands on, like, at least ten of these! Any ideas?
I want one of these just because of the aesthetic
Nice try fed
Just get a 1000 CHF note and buy a newspaper with it.
I miss them. It was so easy to buy cars. Nowadays you run arround with at least 4x the bills in your damn pocket.
