I wonder if the Co-pilot had to sign for it - I hope that he (or she) gets a receipt.

You would think the EU of all places would produce a plastic note with Hologram instead of just a plastic note (if it is plastic and not paper).

I know. I did a quick search and was looking at
all the other Euro notes, I just didn't make that clear.

I didn't think the euro had sunk that low that they needed
a 1 million Euro note although the runs on banks might
just mean they are needed soon

I've just heard the aircraft was heavily fueled by the crew and turned west when it got airborne...

Yep! the aircraft first headed for the Flag Det at Nellis. I understand that the success of the Gov't funding for compensation for service personnel in Cyprus rested on the choice "Red or Black".
