BEIRUT (AP) — In troubled times, people have been known to hoard currency at home — a financial security blanket against deep uncertainty. But in this crisis, things are different. This time cash itself, passed from hand to hand across neighborhoods, cities and societies just like the coronavirus, is a source of suspicion rather than reassurance.
No longer a thing to be shoved mindlessly into a pocket, tucked into a worn wallet or thrown casually on a kitchen counter, money’s status has changed during the virus era — perhaps irrevocably. The pandemic has also reawakened debate about the continued viability of what has been the physical lifeblood of global economies: paper money and coins.
---SNIP---
Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada and others have slowly phased out cash to the point where using it in large amounts seems suspicious. The United Kingdom and Australia are among countries expected to become cashless societies. And in China, use of cash by consumers has plunged as smartphone-based payment services rose in popularity over the past decade.

Microchips. Perhaps some ID2020 to prove you are worthy to be a customer?
All great technology. Have to admit that.
Can't let you use cash. It's too dirty and carries disease. How about a nice tattoo on your right hand? No? O.K., the forehead then.
Nah, the world is not there. YET.
Top banks saying customers can;t use safe deposit boxes for cash and coins....
If anyone doesn’t want their dirty money,they can send it my way.
Same here. Send it COD, I’ll pay the postage!
So Worldly. So Welcome. Mastercard International.

Yep, can’t get in the door at my local bank right now.
They said they were open (ad on ATM).
ONLY the drive-thru is open.
And then there’s this little thing - somebody handed me a $100 bill the other day. As soon as I felt it, I knew it had to be fake.
Sure enough, it was. Apparently somebody tried to pass it at a local store and threw it down on their way out the door (apparently their fake $100 bill had been rejected at the register).
I started paying with cash more as some stres that ran TV ads begging me to use credit/debut for “contactless” transactions, except for the cashier and bagger touching all my items.

The key word is “yet.” They are headed in that direction, however.
Heh.
What could be more fun than cashless shopping?
Download some electronic “money” from your smart phone - buy a hat, get some espresso. What a perfect evening.

Praise to the new “savior” who finally created peace in the Middle East for 7 years.
Some say he’s messiah-like. The world religious leader demands we all worship him so we can buy and sell.
When currency is only electronic, it is ruled by those who run the computers.
(Oh, and you gotta like how the numbers appear on her wrist - bracelet image projection during the transaction?)
Amen. @1:09-1:10 you can see the image on her wrist. (bracelet payment)
[When currency is only electronic, it is ruled by those who run the computers.]
Absolutely. I’m sure we can trust them. They all have our best interests in mind. Like Bill Gates.
Liberty Daily had a post earlier that said his wife was wearing an upside-down “cross” and called it “Satanic”.
I don’t have the image readily available. About to hit the sack for a few hours.

Evidently, my bank hasn’t gotten the message.
And you can also see the bracelet project the numbers on his wrist @1:55-1:57 in the video
What will we stuff into stripper garter belts?
