Just to let folks know that they need to watch out for 'dodgy' 100 euro notes, we saw a lady get a note refused in the supermarket yesterday and the shop assistant told us that there's a batch of forged notes going round, she'd seen at least 3 in the last week!

So be careful accepting 100 euro notes... oh and also 2 euro coins! unbelievable as it is, there's forged 2 euro coins floating around as well..

Darn, does this mean I have to ask for my change in 50s instead of my preferred 100s?! :P Lol just kidding - thanks for the warning!

Can't remember the last time I had a hundred euro note.

Even if I go to the "bancomat" to withdraw 200 or 300 euro, it gives it to me in fifties and twenties.

is that all over Italy or just in your area?

Not sure Duffer, we're in Reggio, but I guess they could be anywhere. Just take care.

Hmmmm - my boss pays me in 100 notes - maybe I'll tell him I want 50's next time
