A couple of years ago i sold a car and was paid in cash (12.000 €), its not so much a problem to carry around… i mean, its only 24 500,- € notes or 60 200,- € notes, you surely don’t need a suitcase, an envelope is absolutely enough.
Quite a few years ago I was in ‘job learning’ course from school in a local bank. They needed to move money to another bank across the street and there was some system update or interruption or whatever going on so it had to be done in cash. I don’t remember the exact sum, but it was something like 300k€. The lady who was assigned as my director took money (and counted it, made necessary paperwork and all the jazz) from the vault and put it in her purse in a bag meant for money transfers. It was roughly a book sized stack of bills which we then walked the short distance and the receiving bank made necessary paperwork on their side. I was there only because their insurance required there’s two persons doing the delivery.
Also “a few” years ago I bought a car and the older gentleman who was selling insisted that I pay in cash. 7000€ can easily fit in your wallet.

Aren’t those notes banned? I have never seen €500 and 200 notes in years. Unless…you are saying something…
Nope, not banned, just not in print since 2019. The notes are still valid and in use.
