€500 BANKNOTES NO LONGER BEING PRINTED

On 27th April, the Brussels Times reported that Germany and Austria — the last 2 countries in the euro zone to still print these high-denomination European banknotes — have stopped.  Apart from Germany and Austria, euro-zone countries ceased their printing on 26th January.  The existing €500 notes will still be legal and can be exchanged indefinitely.
