The robbers tied up employees and clients at a bank in the small town of Barroselas on Friday and got away with crisp euro notes due to be stocked in cash machines for the single currency’s launch on January 1.
In early December, Portuguese authorities arrested two men who were charged with stealing 1,795 one-euro coins from the national mint in Lisbon.
Euros have already been stolen in heists, in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, and on Friday France joined the list when an armed man fled with euro notes after robbing a bank in the southern town of Mougins.
