Read the passage carefully and choose best answer to each question out of four alternatives.</br> The European Central Bank has announced that it will stop producing the 500 euro banknote. It has become popular among money launderers, drug traffickers and terrorists, who move large amounts of money in small bags or briefcases. The banknotes that are in circulation now can continue to be used, but they will slowly be exchanged for smaller bills. The 500-euro banknote will be phased out completely by 2018. It can be exchanged at national central banks of EU states at any time after this date. </br> Such large banknotes are not so popular in many countries. In the United States, the largest banknote is the $100 bill. After World War II the US stopped producing $500 and $1000 bills. Money experts welcome the decision by the EU's main banking authority. They say that with smaller banknotes criminals will find it more difficult to handle large amounts of money without being noticed. </br> 500-euro banknotes are not used very much in everyday life. While many people are afraid of losing them, some shops do not even accept them. The 500-euro banknote accounts for 30% of the value of all euro banknotes but only 3% of all paper Euros in circulation. </br> The discussion about large banknotes has been going on for a long time. Especially after the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels many experts have called for a ban of large bills because terrorists may use them to pay for their activities. While there are many illegal ways of hiding and transferring money, using cash is among the most popular. </br>
