So I can understand the €500, as I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable carrying that much cash around. But the articles also said there were calls to abolish the $100 (?) and £50 notes. Which I find really surprising.

The £50 note is not that different in value from the €50, and there's a lot of atms here that simply will not stock up €20 notes and good luck finding an atm that still dispenses €10 notes.

(Maybe it's a deliberate move by the banks to force people into using digital payments, if they can't get smaller denominations easily - it'd definitely be a 180)
