That’s one line of thought for sure. Problem is there are so many ideas it’s hard to say where it will all wind up.
Using digital would freeze out half of the old people who can’t even use a smart phone or computer and have no desire to learn.Some have a few bucks as well.

I hear Canada has a solution for that.
If we go digital - no more garage sales? no more handouts to the homeless? Girl Scout cookies? I work at a church in a depressed neighborhood. We keep a small amount of dollars to give to those who stop by and request something. Some are really appreciative, others not so much. This is an old-fashioned church. Still sends out checks to pay bills - won’t use paperless methods. Was surprised when they got a debit card!
It’s going to be interesting to see what does actually transpire with our currency,hard to say.
