The thai consulate was on holiday, and the woman told give the non imigrant o stamp with in 5 minutes , sorry we cannot accept your 200€ banknotes! The consul told her, maybe it's fake money! It was 12 o'clock noon, the banks was closed , the next ATM 10 minute away So she not want wait, and close, I was the last customer! After taking around 20 minutes about The 200€ she take the money! Write down the serial number , and told you must give me your phone number Maybe I call you back when money not real! I told it comes from the bank it is real, Never seen same before on other purchases, and leave with out a smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The higher the value of the crappy Euro note the less likely it is to be accepted. Too many copies. Sorry but suck it up.... It is a <deleted> currency anyway and is already destined for the annals of history as a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) When did this happen about a year ago or this year? There was a story about a lot of counterfeit 200 Euro notes found in Portugal, maybe that is why. here is the proof http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21528262 Edited March 3, 2013 by beano2274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman77 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Next time I will pay the visa with a 500€ note and bring a neon light money checking mashine with me, and tell not nesarsary to go to the bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtmartens Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Next time I will pay the visa with a 500€ note and bring a neon light money checking mashine with me, and tell not nesarsary to go to the bank! I know you are being sarcastic, but in all honesty the Thai Embassy can make whatever payment rules they want to make. Why provoke them? If they want to only accept 5 Euro notes ... so be it.

Why would you go all the way back to Austria, with the impending birth of your child you could get a visa locally either outside or in Thailand.

Best idea is to go with 5 cent pieces and let them count them out, or smaller if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It is not unusual for business's to not accept large bills. Try using a $100 bill (50's also at some places) in the states at a 7/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
