Banknote serial numbers are being tracked from ATMs as an unwarranted mass surveillance scheme, which bypasses the GDPR.

At the same time, Dutch and French ATMs have unilaterally nationwide quit dispensing banknotes larger than €50. I’ve heard lots of unconvincing reasons for forced-small denominations. Does anyone have a more convincing theory than the fact that each banknote is a tracking opportunity?

I thought the Netherlands recently started giving out 100 euro bills?

Also, I've had trouble in general getting anything smaller then a 20 out of an ATM here, that has improved too lately though.
