【歐元紙幣及硬幣】【Euro bank notes and coins】

從來沒有想過能夠集齊一套歐元的紙幣和硬幣, 特別是那誇張嚇人的大面額500歐元和較少見到的200歐元。一般來說，這裡的店舖是不會收取５００歐元這張極大面值的紙幣。朋友教路, 在手的500歐元, 找本地的朋友先存進銀行, 然後再從提款機提款, 正常來說, 在提款機提取500歐元, 它大概不會吐出一張500歐元吧 (500歐元可是大約4,300港幣啊)。至於200歐元由於較少流通, 就留起作紀念吧。

各位來葡萄牙前，盡量避免兌換大面額大鈔，以免麻煩。　

I have never thought before that I could have collected one full set of euro banknotes and coins, in particular the "very scary" large 500-euro notes and the "less-seen" 200-euro notes. A good friend suggested that I ask a local friend here in Portugal to deposit the 500-euro banknote with a bank, and then take the amount out from an ATM machine (500 euros is worth about 4,300 Hong Kong dollars). Normally, ATM machines shall give out bank notes in small denominations. 200-euro notes are less seen so I shall keep it myself for the time being.

Just a suggestion: to avoid troubles, tend not to exchange for large denominated banknotes before coming to Portugal.
