I recieve them occasionally when I've sold an alpaca.

A what?

It's a small sort of lama which I breed professionally. They are very expensive, and most payments are done in cash.

I once payed somebody in England with 110 nots of 500.... but ofcourse, when I didn't use EBT....

Have 12 of them in my list now....

If you wonder how these alpaca's look like see my website at www.alpaca-international.com

I visited last summer a Alpaga breeding center in the Ardèche-valley ; he was doing the same job as you did. It was great for adults and children to visit such farm...

But I am not buying an alpaga... I first need to make some money, and pay for my house... :wink:

Only once. They gave me one such note in money exchange in Saint-Petersburg and it was really hard to find there to pay with it (finally, I bought train tickets for approx. 250 euro). I really felt myself as Mark Twan hero.

I used a :note-500: once, to pay for a 3€ bill in a supermarket. Getting 1 :note-100: , 7 :note-50: , 2 :note-20: and 1 :note-5: from a single trip to the shop is fun!

Man, didn't they get angry?! :o

In :flag-nl:, no shopkeeper would accept :note-500:, maybe only if you have to pay >200 or so.
