The 500 euro note seems to have been designed for wealthy Germans to
transport undeclared cash to and from their Luxembourg bank
accounts.


Luxembourg or Liechtenstein?

Both probably, but I gave seen on German tv reports about mobile /Zoll/
(customs) patrols pulling over vehicles near the Luxembourg border and
confiscating large amounts of euros and bearer bonds hidden in cars not
registered in the area. Even, in one case, 30,000 euro stashed *inside*
the spare tyre.
