There is already a limit on cash payments in the EU:

- €7,000 (US$7,645) max limit across the whole EU (€1,000 for crypto), down from €10,000 just 2 years ago (2 years of high inflation).

- Just €1,000 (US$1,081) limit in France and Italy.

They always blame AML/CFT but it's really just forcing payments into banks and credit card companies that can skim 1-3% of everything.

intra EU bank transfers cost much less than 1-3%.
