How I'm supposed to know this? I'm not even in Europe or UK. Yet, the fact I can't know it doesn't mean no one can.
Banks may (and most likely do) know which exact ATM had issued this bank note to whom. As well as when it was last encashed and from whom. This does not guarantee anything (the note could've swapped hands a few times), but it's less than perfect anonymity, and I'm sure big data can reveal a thing or two.
- sorokod 8y agoIf it was a dollar bill would it make easier on you? As to less than perfect anonymity , yes, it is imperfect compared to an abstract definition but, boy is it sparkling perfect compared to a credit card transaction.
- drdaeman 8y agoOf course, no. It is almost irrelevant what the currency is. You know, the fact I'm not working for Facebook and just can't access your profile info didn't made data there private from, say, Cambrige Analytica. Hopefully, you see the idea - it's the same logic here. I don't argue it's great and provides lots of anonymity and are essentially untraceable without a great effort. Still, just theoretically speaking - if your bank knows a serial number of every note you withdraw and every note stores encash with them, they have some of data to profile.
