Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

It seems that people and businesses feel a bit uneasy about the 500-euro
note, as if it has some sort of stigma attached to it.

500 (and 200) Euro notes are a denomination that is high enough to not
occur in "normal" everyday trade in most shops, so it is quite common
especially for small shops (e.g. newspaper stands and the like) to not
accept them. This is partly in fear of running out of change, partly in
fear of not noting counterfeited bills.

I notice that in Amsterdam, GVB does not accept 50-euro notes.

I think the 50 Euro note is the most counterfeited one (don't know why,
probably because it is the highest note common enough that many people
don't look that hard if they get one).
