No that is not currently possible. The Scandinavian countries could do it, but most of the rest of EU cannot, because they don’t have a solid enough infrastructure to not have old fashioned cash.
When we talk cash here, we mean physical cash as in non digital payments.
But even though EU as a whole isn’t ready to go cashless yet, they can still make limitations on cash payments like the ones we have here in Denmark.
And that can be used to increase national oversight of how money is being used.
Going off topic : while people in my place are crazy about Brazilian football, or Messi or Argentina, personally l love the Nordic teams when it comes to football. My town had been a French colony, while a neighbouring town had been Danish.
Wow, I’m surprised you think so, I thought Brazil and Argentina were better. But again, it’s not something I really follow. When I was a child in the 70’s, Denmark was “røven a fjerde division.” a very impolite way of saying we sucked very very badly. The ass (bottom) of the fourth league. And Sweden was way better than us.
then a plan was made in the Danish football league, that we needed to make professional football legal, and build the top league around professional teams like they had in for instance UK.
That paid off already in 1984 where Denmark reached the semi final in the European championship. A previously completely unheard of result for the national team. Where in the 70’s I doubt we ever even qualified to participate.
I still remember some of the names of the Danish national team from back then, and that we lost to France.
8 years later we actually won the European championship over Germany, ironically during very tough negotiations in EU, because Denmark had voted no to a new treaty.
Our foreign minister even saw the match together with the German delegation, and the smirk on his face when he came out after was priceless. And he said: “If you can’t join them, beat them!”
I can’t overstate how much of a sensation it was for us to win the European championship, as a very small country against many countries with 20 times as much money and talent to pull from.
That means they’re going to do away with liquid € by the end of this year ?
IDK what you mean by liquid €?
AFAIK EU is determined to have a digital Euro payment system soon, I assume all EU countries can use that.
Currency notes and coins

I’ve got quite a few videos on such topics.

I’m not a football fan, or a fan of any sport. But I do know that here Argentina is very highly regarded as a leading football nation.
Denmark Sweden play far better football.

Those were good times. 😎 😀 😋 🎉
I was born in 1984. And when Denmark lost to Australia in 2022 World Cup, l stopped watching football.
The Danish footballers are some of the fiercest footballers in the world.
