A hypothetical problem

[Klaus]

What do you do if somebody gave you a bunch of bank notes of very high denomination (500 Euro) that basically no shop accepts as payment, while at the same time you couldn't go to a bank with that money? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

"Couldn't go to a bank with it" sure does put a crimp in one's plans doesn't it. Other options of deploying the money would probably vary between illegal and unsafe.

Is Jon's sister back in Europe again?

Cross the border to Switzerland, exchange them at a Swiss bank for USD.

Keep the cash for spending money on your next trip to the US.

You didn’t hear this from me.

I think bank notes of the smallest denomination should be sufficient to take care of that.

Just donate it to the CDU. They accept cash donations, right?

That’s why mobsters set up front businesses to launder cash.
