Did you hear the one about the irish businessman who accepted a toy eur 100 note?

Lots of the larger shops/chains have pictures of larger denomination notes at the tills for the cashier to see and often two people are needed to verify the note is genuine.
I know smaller shops in England have refused to accept Scottish notes and others refuse to accept £50 notes. So the business could have just refused to accept the note if in doubt."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
It is understood it was used to buy a sandwich in a fast food outlet.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

When I was a cashier the petrol station didn't really care if you accepted duff notes. They just took it out of your pay.
Although I caused a scene once when I refused to accept a ten pound note which had been ripped and then taped back together. They guy and his girlfriend demanded to know why a different place accepted it and were perplexed when I said they probably had a different note checking policy and how could somewhere have accepted it if they still had it?
I hated that job.Comment

Clearly no checks were done on this note and that business is now 100 euro down plus the value of the goods it was used to 'pay' for!Comment

so plod of course is wrong they are at maximum €100 down. Scary that anyone would let them out.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Good idea. Got several charity shops in town, mostly staffed by short sighted old ladies. Sure I could get a used jacket for one of my Monopoly notes.bloggoth

I thought Euros were monoply money anywaySocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
