€500 bank note in the UK

Bank of England did not have the information requested.

Dear Bank of England,

I'm doing research on the €500 banknote and wonder if you would have information on the following:

1. Is there any law controlling the retail availability of the circulation and supply of Euro currency in the UK in particular the €500 banknote.

2. Where do banks in the UK obtain Euro currency in particular the €500 banknote

3. Have you any evidence based research linking the Euro in particular the €500 banknote to crime in the UK

Yours faithfully,

John Finn
