Cash payments above €3000 to be outlawed in Netherlands

Can't read Dutch, but I'm pretty sure there is a version of "muh' terrorism!" in there.

Here's the google translate:

# What is the maximum amount I can pay in cash?

At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. For cash purchases above € 10,000, the seller must conduct a customer due diligence. But not all sellers accept cash. The cabinet is working on a bill to ban cash payments from € 3,000.

## Pay for purchases in cash

At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. It doesn't matter how high the amount is. A seller can decide not to accept cash above a certain amount. Or at all [no cash to be accepted](https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/geldzaken/vraag-en-...).

## Customer research for purchases above € 10,000

Do you make a purchase that costs more than € 10,000 and do you pay in cash? Then the seller must conduct a [client investigation](https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/financiele-sector/a...). This check is mandatory to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

## Bill on cash payments up to € 3,000

There is a [legislative proposal in the making to prohibit cash payments from € 3,000](https://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerstukken/wetsvoorstellen/deta...). This applies to all buyers and sellers of goods. When the new law comes into effect, you may no longer pay for purchases from € 3,000 in cash.

There are many similar restrictions on other countries. Here is a list for Europe: https://www.europe-consommateurs.eu/en/shopping-internet/cas...

The equivalent of 3,000 - 4,000 Euro seems to be the norm.
