Cash in the UK is extremely dead already. I've not even seen any of the plastic notes except for the £10.
I had a taxi in Crewe say "cash only" and the fury on my face was incredible. What the fuck do you mean cash only?
He meant, "I'm not reporting this revenue to the government, thank you very much!"
Yeah and that shit can get fucked.
I agree. Since the 1990s New Zealand mostly uses an electronic system called EFTPOS and when that goes down it's bad enough, almost no one can buy or sell anything.
