100 Euro notes..

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..

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.

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 ;)
