Banque de France launches damaged banknote exchange service at tobacconists
Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
The Banque de France is launching a new service starting June 8 that allows citizens to exchange damaged banknotes at participating tobacconists (bar-tabac). Initially one location per region, expanding to one per department in early July. Notes with more than half intact and minor damage can be deposited in recycling ATMs for immediate credit. Heavily damaged notes up to €500 can be assessed at tabacs for reimbursement, while larger amounts require direct Banque de France handling.
