    If the €10 note went out of circulation it would be no loss to anyone. People would just use 2 5's or use a €20 and get 2 5's back.

    Think of the efficiency savings from having one less banknote. Vending machines need not learn how to accept them and it would be easier to print a few more 5's which are smaller anyway.

    And credit cards / debit are sh1te too. Feck paying fees to pay and pay more fees in order to pay the fees to pay. Lets get rid of them too, they only help the banks screw us more.

    Because 2990 is more attractive than 3000

    I think we should just all have 50 euro notes, and then cut slivers off to give change.

    Or just go to a bark based economy.

    Surely can just get a stack of 5 2e coins (which themselves have no reason to exist either) in change after paying 3k

    €5 notes tend to wear quicker than a €10 note in my opinion.
    And a €5 note can easily be mistaken for an old receipt & get thown out.

    You bark at a person and they give you the product out of fear?

    Just lets end this stupid thing once and for all.

    We should have a proper money system; we each place value on goods and services and bargin.

    I'm gonna go perform sexual services, a ten minute jaunt is half a gold bar, any takers?

    doing away with 1cent 2cent and 5cent coins would be better

    they are truly useless in an overpriced world.
