<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 4052635, member: 17665&quot;]Several of the countries that have gone cashless also do not have a happy electorate either. It&#039;s not like they had a referendum where they could have voted on these measures. Several of my friends in Florida also say they have several thousand dollars in cash squirreled away in the event of a disaster. I&#039;m sure many others in other parts of the country do the same that are prone to hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, etc. I can see the eventuality of doing away with the cent for commerce but not the nickel anytime soon, as that could be reduced in size, weather or not vending machine operators like it or not. The U.S. has always been on a slow boat when it comes to things like this. Doing away with cash in the U.S. would be like banning apple pie. It&#039;s an American thing. Even The U.S. Mint would likely keep making collector cents much the same as half &amp; dollar coins even though they no longer circulate to any major degree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
