Circular Letter No. CC/2025/00000020

The Banco de Portugal requires entities operating professionally with cash to cease the recirculation of all denominations of the first series euro banknotes by 31 December 2026. Additionally, the central bank will stop delivering first series notes at its cash offices starting 1 January 2026. While legal tender status remains unchanged and all denominations must continue to be accepted for payments, professional cash handlers are advised to reconfigure their equipment to account for potential operational impacts and costs.
