The 500 euro denomination was discontinued by the ECB in 2019 amid concerns that its high face value made it disproportionately useful for money laundering and illicit cash transactions — a reputation it had carried for years in law enforcement circles, where it was sometimes called the "Bin Laden." Ironically, specimen and Spielgeld (play money) versions of this note are now among the more collectible items in the series precisely because the genuine article is being withdrawn from circulation.
Spielgeld pieces were produced for training and retail display purposes and are legally overprinted or otherwise marked to prevent passing as genuine. The 2002 physical launch of euro banknotes made 2001-dated production pieces particularly early in the series timeline.
