200 Euros - Teller Practice Banknote

Teller training notes issued alongside the euro's 2002 cash introduction were produced to give bank staff hands-on familiarity with the new denominations before live currency entered circulation. The 200-euro face value was a deliberate choice for practice stock — high enough to require careful handling procedures, but the denomination retailers and cashiers were least likely to encounter confidently in the early weeks.

Kalina's original plate designs were adapted for training use, with security features either omitted or rendered non-functional. Surviving examples occasionally surface having been mistakenly spent or banked, which created low-level authentication headaches for national central banks during the first transition year.
