    I used cash quite a bit in Sweden last summer for souveniors and meals, mostly so I could get change back and pick out dates for my collection.

    The government is thinking they could track transactions that are hidden now, increasing tax revenue. Most of my purchases are electronic now, so going cashless wouldn't be such a big deal. Although, it is a bit scary.

    The entire 'cashless' push by central banks is myopic and dangerous from both a political and practical viewpoint.

    However deemed remote, under cashless conditions the omnipresent possibility of grid failure from any number of natural or manmade scenarios would render trade not just reduced to 19th century standards, but to those of iron age barter.

    This movement is about social and economic domination, not practical convenience for 21st century efficiencies.

    Coins are very much more than arcane relics.

    So has Swedish coins seen an increase in demand or value because of this move?

    Is the market behavior similar to collectibles of recently late/retired famous persons?

    Or, is there little noticeable difference for the coinage of Sweden (in particular)?
