This is a wrong conception, to think that third world countries are the poor ones. In reality, the countries of the first world were the Western ones, those of the second world were those of the communist bloc and those of the third world, the non-aligned countries, like Brazil. The fourth world, were the least developed countries. Obviously it was a US-centric view.
The 500 euros banknote in this video is effectively a drawing, probably because the guy didn’t possess one. But the real former banknote was a formal, classical printing as every others. You probably could find what it looked like on google pictures. It was stopped in order to avoid criminal financial transactions since it couldn’t be used for a daily basis by any European citizen (besides some rich businessmen). Myself I never had any 100 or 200 euros banknote in my hands. And I rarely ever had a 50 euros too. I usually use my bank card to pay my personal shopping and every bigger expense (taxes, insurance, etc) are paid by automatic debit from my bank account.
The 500 euro note was discontinued, because very few people used it and it was useful mainly for criminals in money laundering, tax evasion etc. I read that a few countries, for example Germany, liked the 500 euro because people there still like to use cash a lot also when paying large purchases, but for example here in the Nordic countries most purchases are done using debit or credit cards. Based on what I could find, cash is used in only about 5% of transactions in all the Nordic countries.
Giesecke & Devrient in Munich print money for about 60 countries! This is one of the most sophisticated printing company in the world. If you find your money looks similar to the Euro, it might got printed by them.
Yeah, I have a few 0 euro bills with the Dutch royal family printed on them, but they're just that. They're cool, and they're technically money, but they are... 0 money. So you can't really buy things with them but you can trade them, based on how rare or in demand a certain design is these 0 euro bills will cost you a few euros to hundreds of euros to acquire.
It's strange, because some of the conservatives would like to have the old German mark back, which was even stronger. Because the mark was worth about twice as much as the euro is worth. 2 euros = 4 marks. The current exchange rate for 1 euro to Brazilian real is 5.93. If I were in Brazil, I could probably shop and eat very cheaply.
For countries in the EU that still use their own currrencies it is not about meeting economic criteria - it is more like, they don't want euro. There are some countries outside of EU that use euro as their official currency (for example Montenegro) and nobody ask wheather they meet the criteria. Don't belive every video on youtube. I am from Poland - if only citizens of Poland wonted euro, we would have had it yars ago. Sicnce there is no political and social (civic) consensus on this issue, no Polish goverment (from the left or from the right) dares to itroduce euro to Poland.
No, that 500 bill was a joke. The real bill looked different but they took it out of circulation because of money laundering. It was too risky to accept that note if you didn't have a UV scanner to check it. Many didn't accept the bill because they had no UV scanner. The 2nd reason why it was taken out of circulation was to discourage people from using cash for large transactions. Even today it is illegal to pay a transaction over €3000,- in cash although most people don't know about this law. You can get fined for it. Not the one who pays in cash, but the one accepting it.
It was a nightmare in terms of transactions and travelling within the EU, as he stated in the video, not in terms of how the currencies worked for each country.
To be fair, the combined coins (1 € and 2 €) with two different metals were inspired by Brazil. ( you came first) So a bit Brazil is in every European pocket. Your 1 real coin was issued in 1998 first Euro-Coin in 2002. It had the same weight (~7,5 g) like our 1 Euro-Coin and 1 real was illegal used in vendor machines in Europe. So in 2002 Brazil changed the weight to 7 g. Maybe it was a request from the European Central Bank.
Germanys Money was al looser of this Money Change. We had th D-Mark an this was the heaviest Money in Germany. 1000 Mark WAS MORE WORTH than today 2000 Euros.
Warum kapiert ihr das alle nicht? Der Euro war die perfekte Chance, die Alte DM soweit abzuwerten, dass die deutsche Wirtschaft wieder sehr konkurrenzfähig wurde. Das wäre wegen der bestehenden Verträge mit den anderen EU- Staaten im sog. Währungsverbund, überhaupt nicht möglich gewesen! Mit anderen Worten... Ohne die Euroeinführung, wäre der beginnende Wiederaufstieg der Wirtschaft ab 2006, nicht möglich gewesen. Das das gewöhnliche Volk, den Deckel dafür bezahlen würde, war jedem mit Ahnung, schon vorher vollkommen klar. Und so wie du hier gerechnet hast, kann man auch nicht rechnen. Das ist deine persönliche Wahrnehmung und sonst nichts...
haha... O que você acha...? Se eu carimbar uma nota de cinco e escrever seu endereço na borda, ela chegará até você? Só que você tem a sensação de que tal nota...
If you live in Brazil, your currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL), the Euro (EUR) is a strong currency, the US Dollar (USD) is at the same level as well as the Swiss Franc (CHF) and maybe Canadian Dollar (CAD).

Every country having their own money was not a nightmare, but actually made traveling more interesting. Same with border control, it was cool to collect stamps to your passport.
Travel to another continent and you still get your stamps! Personally, I would be happy to do without border controls ala the "Iron Curtain". And I know exactly what I'm talking about...
@@virtueofhate1778 What nonsense are you talking about? I am an early Generation X European. I have traveled to other countries by car, train and plane all my life. Including behind the Iron Curtain! What do you think you can tell me, kid...?

Different currencies were not really an issue, with a basic knowlege of math it was easy to multiply by 10 or 3 to understand what things costed. Now it's even easier since we don't really use cash, except for some backwards countries. I see little to no use of the Euro at this point of time, if anything we should adopt the US dollar
Give us our guilder back !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 23 years with this UGLY monoply money and the BIGGEST scam in history BIGGER SCAM that the SARS outbreak in 2019 GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK orrrrrrr we just take it back........
If you live in Brazil, we in Europe do not see you as a 3rd world country. So don't lower yourselves.
Yes 👍i said that a few times. They should rename like Brazilian couple reacts
Have you visited Brazil lately? Post apocalyptic era after Bolsonaro...
It's all just a YT strategy, when they were doing music reactions they weren't so "third world".
@@Kivas_Fajo Oh please. 🤣

Today Croatia also has the Euro as its Currency.

You should have a look at the beautiful designed dutch bank notes; certainly the ones just before the change to the Euro

That 500 Euro bill wasn't the actual bill.
Of course not only the color 8n general. Just for saffy its edited.
It was not a "Nightmare" before the Euro, it worked well

Well... Such coins were used in Italy and France, long time, before the Euro was a real thing. So I guess, it had nothin' to do with Brazil...
Finland got a 10 FIM two-metal coin in 1990 and certainly wasn't the first to have those.
