Is that a big deal, freeing up some yen by cashing in some $ and €?

Seems like a lot to me.

Trouble is with banks, one could take one's money out as folding money instead of just digits, and hide it under the mattress; but what good is that when retailers say they don't want cash?

Anyway, the inquisition I had to go through to withdraw $100 in $5 bills, like I was a drug cartel laundering money.

I had to say what I wanted the cash for.

Even returning something to a store - so much quizzing and when I asked why they said it was because of money laundering.

Filthy lucre for sure.

The cumulative impact will have an impact. Nations needed dollars and now they are dumping dollar denominated debt. Overall the global financial system is moving extremely fast to digital currency backed by a basket of currencies.
