The value of euro banknotes in circulation within the Eurozone decreased slightly at the end of 2023, a recovery from the growth decline during the summer. While the overall value of coins kept growing to all-time highs, the use of cash across Europe varies significantly between countries. Countries like Germany or countries around the Mediterranean were more likely to use cash in stores or restaurants compared to the Nordics or the Netherlands.
