The amount of cash in circulation in the Eurozone has increased for all currency denominations, except for 500 euro bills. The total of fifty euro bills amounted to 2,172 billion euros in 2023. 500 euro bills have not been issued by most Eurozone central banks since January 2019. The European Central Bank is entitled to authorize the issuance of euro banknotes.
