The end of physical money.

[Green oak]

Just think about the cash changing between hands at the Cheltenham festival. The virus is going to be around for the time being. But I can see cash being phased out.

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Still plenty using it .

 

[Tarw Coch]

Cash is King

 

[shakerator]

Why print money when you can press a button at a central bank

I think this will reduce the use of cash and hasten a move toward a cashless society.
When you think about it cash Is probably the most unhiegenic thing we all touch.

That’s the point I was trying to make.

I can’t say I relish the idea that someone somewhere will be able to track every penny I spend.
As for hygiene, I wouldn’t have thought a farming forum was the best place to make that claim

You can pay someone instantly from a smart phone straight into there bank, I hardly ever use cash anymore.
Although I do have a little bit stashed away for emergencies ?

Cash will always be used for convenience and to avoid prying by the authorities.
If they stopped making pounds and pennies US dollars would be used like they are in the rest of the world.
Once another currency creeps into use your own currency is undermined and will only become weaker.

The only thing the majority of the population use cash for now is drugs

 

[Chae1]

And Chinese restaurants.

Problem with transfers between one off people theres always the chance of error. Need a more fool proof way like scanning sombody bank details so you pay into the right account

Society will learn a lot in the next few Months
One of those things will be that there is more to life than technology and speed . Im off down to the organic farm for a few spring greens when ive had a walk around the farm . I shall leave a few quid in his cashbox as normal
I hope a few more will realise the insanity of the way this world was heading before the end of all this

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Went to the butchers yesterday and used cash

I would have thought there would be very few if any people who don’t use cash. Just how many of them use drugs I don’t know but I very much doubt it’s the majority

 

[Barleymow]

And Chinese restaurants.

Local bakers and chip shop are cash only

 

[Paddington]

All the tradesmen round here are cash only, traditional they call it.

 

[DaveGrohl]

Cash use has been declining for ages, it's just a fact. Govts desperately want to get rid of it so their economists can play even sillier bxggers with their daft momentary theories. It's also about control and information. We should all resist because the disappearance of cash would lead to intended and unintended consequences. I'm guilty of using it less and less as much as the next man but I do normally try to use it as much as I can. Using a card removes the link between your money and your conscience. It's much much easier to spend too much with a card than cash.

Need to stress our immune system or it will get weak.
