      It’s for security reasons. (Mostly because they are high value targets for forgery)

      Aus Sicherheitsgründen – for security reasons. They are worried about counterfeits probably.

      A lot to give change from. Also some places have limits on how much cash they keep on stock and €500 may over do that. Plus, you see it so rarely it may not be as clear to staff if it’s real or not. A place I used to work had to call a manager to check £50 notes if the cashier was too new.

      Because of the high damage a single counterfeit 500€ note does to the business, I guess. With smaller notes it’s not as bad if it happens. But a 500€ note causes you 500€ of loss.

      Mainly because they are unwieldy and also it’s hard to check if they’re fake or not in a gas station. The latter is for other notes, too, but at 500 euro you looking at higher damage then when someone slips you a couple of fake 20s. It’s also more economical to fake 500€ notes than 20s, so it’s higher risk of getting a fake.

      Many retailers refuse to accept €200 and €500 banknotes due to concerns about counterfeit money or insufficient change. Although all euro banknotes are legal tender, merchants can legally refuse high-denomination notes if the payment is disproportionate to the purchase amount. However, they must clearly inform customers about this policy in advance.

      Because if its a forgery the gas station didnt just lose on the sale and gave out gas for free but also gave back change. So if someone pays with a fake 50€ note they lost 50€. Here they lose 500€.
      Also what regular person walks around with 500€ bills in the first place. No regular ATM has them. So the setup is already suspicious from the start.
