Please fact check your €2,000 claim. There is several EU countries without a cash payment limit. In other countries, like Italy, the cash limit is €1,000. In most countries the cash limit is still €10,000. https://www.europe-consommateurs.eu/en/shopping-internet/cash-payment-limitations.html https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240419IPR20586/new-eu-rules-to-combat-money-laundering-adopted
I wasn't saying the entirety of Europe had that limit.
I must have read that wrong. "Meanwhile, in other EU countries you're _prohibited_ from accepting that much cash!" But either way, handling money within the EU is turning into a massive joke. Through banks or in cash and the ECB's CBDC wont make it any better. You can feel their desperation to archive complete financial control.
