    Cash is a guarantor of freedom. When currency is electronic, and we cannot remove our currency, the govt. can, at any time, set confiscatory negative interest rates.

    The fact that these that many are happy to sleepwalk into a system of control, is quite alarming.

    Going cashless is basically giving an F U to poor people. Small business owners have to give CC companies a cut of their profit. I'm not against CC but paying cash should always be an option.

      it has lots of advantages to fight crime, no more burglaries, as the thieves could not sell the spoils, tax evasion and drug dealing and fraud will be wiped out, but our transactions will need to be protected like our health records are, and banks would need more regulation to make sure all transactions are genuine

      The bankers are the biggest criminals in this world as they’ve been playing the biggest Ponzi Scheme ever since they implemented fractional banking.
      The government is the biggest mafia that ever was and all they care about is power.
      The corporatists are the biggest slave owners in world’s history and they’re in tight partnership with the bankers and the government.
      We the faceless masses are the brainwashed stupid sheeple who love our servitude and slavery.

    There are no benefits unless someone is just too lazy to count. Cash is wonderful -- a mutually agreed upon trading medium that is easy to carry, not heavy or bulky, and -- of course -- anonymous. *I'm sure governments and some businesses would much rather they could know all your daily habits with a touch of a button, but for those of us who actually want to maintain or privacy and don't have a problem making change cash is easier and gives peace of mind.* Also frankly I don't even have or want a smartphone so good luck getting me to use cashless...

Apparently, the plastic notes could even be placed in a washing machine and give them a good wash. That is what we have been told! I will not do this to my notes. I just wipe them down on both sides with anti-sceptic wipes which kills 99.9% of germs.

      @Brexit Monger In respect to drugs and petty crime it would be a good thing. But struggling people like some window cleaners, taxi drivers, waiters would never be able to pocket the little bits of cash that sometimes keep their heads above water.
      I certainly would not like the government to know every penny I've got, and how to get at it.
