In response to another of the most recurring doubts that his clients send him, Mercadona stresses that “the 500 and 200 euro notes are legal tender and can be used as a means of payment in our stores.”
Regarding the possibility of paying with a torn, damaged or stained invoice, Mercadona responds that it is feasible “as long as its security measures can be verified.”
