I don’t have troubles breaking 100’s. Grocery store, Hardware store, gas stations. Even for as little as a purchase of a pack of cigarettes.

I don’t carry 50’s. 50’s become 5’s when your not paying attention.

When society goes cashless the unintended consequences are going to bite pretty deep on tax revenue and law enforcement.

There's another aspect. A cashless society means a complete lack of privacy. Anywhere you go, any transaction, regardless how small, will be part of your permanent record. Besides that, a card will have all of your personal data will have GPS capabilities. Transactions, including taxes and bank fees, will immediately be subtracted from the account.

It will be the end of freedom.

Years and years ago (1960s) I was in the checkout line with my mother. A lane or two over a guy paid for his groceries with a $1000 bill. You should have the checker shriek!
