Good idea. Got several charity shops in town, mostly staffed by short sighted old ladies. Sure I could get a used jacket for one of my Monopoly notes.

so plod of course is wrong they are at maximum €100 down. Scary that anyone would let them out.

Clearly no checks were done on this note and that business is now 100 euro down plus the value of the goods it was used to 'pay' for!

When I was a cashier the petrol station didn't really care if you accepted duff notes. They just took it out of your pay.
Although I caused a scene once when I refused to accept a ten pound note which had been ripped and then taped back together. They guy and his girlfriend demanded to know why a different place accepted it and were perplexed when I said they probably had a different note checking policy and how could somewhere have accepted it if they still had it?
I hated that job.

It is understood it was used to buy a sandwich in a fast food outlet.

Lots of the larger shops/chains have pictures of larger denomination notes at the tills for the cashier to see and often two people are needed to verify the note is genuine.
I know smaller shops in England have refused to accept Scottish notes and others refuse to accept £50 notes. So the business could have just refused to accept the note if in doubt.
