Are the old 50 euro banknotes still accepted at money exchange offices in Thailand?
Dear readers,
Are the old 50 euro banknotes still accepted at money exchange offices?
Regards,
According to
I advise against it. They have to be perfect anyway. Cracks, often folded, etc. are rejected. Better present the best denominations, least problems.
Certainly that would be bad for expats who have cash lying around at home.
no problem just returned from Thailand also 100 and 200 no problem.
No problem
Last year, to my surprise, I experienced that they were refused at a bank, at a small exchange office it was no problem at all and also not at Be Ritch exchange office, so if possible bring new banknotes to exchange without any problem Gr Ferry
Perhaps because 50 euro banknotes are often counterfeited and mainly put into circulation outside the Netherlands: https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/geld-en-werk/artikel/3829721/meer-valse-eurobiljetten-maar-niet-nederland
Preferably 100 and 200 euro notes undamaged. You normally get a little more when you exchange. Maybe keep one or two 50 euros or 20 euros for the end of the holiday if you still need money to pay for something small so that you don't go home with too many baths.
500 euro banknotes are also accepted without any problems.
Banknotes of EUR 500 are gladly accepted at the exchange offices. Have a look at their information boards. You will see that the larger the denominations, the higher the price.
I would also like to take 100 euro notes (or larger) with me because of the slightly better exchange rate, but I don't know how to get them.
I cannot withdraw cash at my bank (SNS). So I rely on ATMs.
I would also have liked to have taken larger denominations with me, but you can no longer get money from a bank, so it depends on the ATM and there are no hundred notes in it.
At the GWK it costs 2% to exchange your fifty notes for hundreds.
Nowadays you have to request notes of EUR 500 at every bank. Via a visit to a branch or via internet banking. For many years I have always ordered a large amount in EUR 1 banknotes from ING about 500 week before my departure. These bring a higher price.
When I change money in Thailand (now once ov 30) I have not noticed any difference between 50, 100 and 200 euro notes, not even when explicitly asking in Thai.
It is important that they are intact and as little wrinkled as possible - the first time I got 25 of the 100 pushed back into my hands.
Withdrawing cash in desired denominations is possible at almost every Dutch bank, you only have to make an appointment for it and there is a minimum amount that you withdraw. No problem at ING.
Just got back from Thailand, and have exchanged them several times, never had a problem.
Here at the Rabobank inside the hall you can simply pin notes of 100 and 200.
I don't know if that's the case everywhere. Outside in the ATM only small notes
Try it at a Rabo Bank gr
Pin in!
Very good tip. I'm going to try next time.
Thanks.
After the euro had been introduced for a while, I once saw a book appear in a Thai bank.
In here they had pictures of all kinds of foreign currencies.
Then I saw again what that note of 5 guilders looked like then.
I think you don't need to worry.
In Bangkok you could get the best exchange rate in those hidden Arab exchange offices at Sukhumvit 3. Saved at least 5% and no costs.
I had older ones from the couch, some were new
When redeemed, the new ones were viewed more closely, because they differed from the larger number of older ones
