Going shopping with the 1,000-franc note

[@lukek1949]

A 1000 CHF bill! That is awesome! For privacy reasons alone, people should be spending and accepting more cash, not less!

[@user-ty8zq6cz1i]

I can’t agree with more.

[@extremeswissgerman2536]

All the large retailers like Migros and Coop do not even blink when you pay with a thousand franc bill. What might happen is that the cashier shouts over to her neighbor: "Emmaaaa, chasch mer en Tuusiger wechsle?", handing the bill to the client to pass it over to the other cashier in return for 10 hundred bill notes, via the client again of course :)

[@user-ty8zq6cz1i]

That’s wonderful. No wonder Switzerland is wealthy. No blinking while accepting a large denomination bill is a symbolic sign of vibrant commerce. I love this fact about Switzerland.

[@gargoyle7863]

Some gas stations in Germany refuse to take 200€ and 500€ bills. I don't understand why, they should be happy getting rid of all the 50€ and 100€ bills accumulating in the register.

Just buy stuff that actually is worth closer to 1000 bucks. It's immensely useful in buying used cars, for example. Buy something worth 950, they'll gladly accept the 1000. I mean Switzerland's already cool in the way that you can easily pay everywhere with a 200.

We used to have ₹ 2000 notes in India as well, but they have been discontinued since September 2023. Announcement was made for the same in May itself, so that people possessing such notes can get it exchanged in banks. Don't know whether 1000 CHF is still in circulation in Switzerland or not, despite considering that CHF is much stronger than INR.

[@music-master]

1000 CHF is almost ₹1,00,000. You can't compare those two notes together.

Well , common sense if you buy small items not very expensive they won't accept it as they are small businesses which don't have a lot of cash on hand . Like buying from my small store I used to have with a $1000 dollar bill .for a couple sodas and chips .. gotta be careful a lotta scams going on . Even in a large convenience store chain in the USA would not accept such a large note even a $100 . BUT iif staying in fairly expensive hotel each night costing hundreds of euros / dollars ..

[@SkLLzDaTkLLs]

Ah, a myth then. I heard you could take a 1k note anywhere and you'd be good to go. This video is what I expected though honestly.

[@RealGestumblindi]

Well, not quite a myth. They've chosen very small shops and very small amounts to pay in this video. If you buy something that costs a few 100 CHF, you can certainly pay with an 1k note, and also, as others mentioned, in larger shops and supermarkt chains - no problem, even if you only buy some groceries.

[@SkLLzDaTkLLs]

@@RealGestumblindi I've been in Switzerland for some time now and I've had the exact experience with 1k notes as you've described. Once it's a store where the total comes out to (at a normal functional minimum) around 300-400 CHF, they seem to not care. Smaller shops that tend to deal in, arbitrarily 5-50 CHF amounts often tend not to just be able to change out 1k.

This is illegal. Shops are not allowed to refuse the acceptance of a legal tender. They may only refuse it when the relation between the purchase price and the bank note is disproportional. That is the case in Germany, and I assume that it might be the same in Holland.
