I was limiting my scope to simple retirement and replacement for older notes that are less counterfeiting-hardened. Removing overall currency availability is something else altogether (and IMHO indicative of planned government suppression). I'm not familiar with the EU strategy (another subthread addresses this), but what I'd seek is the removal-by-attrition of vulnerable notes coupled with a hard "expiration date", maybe 2 years or so after passage.
