<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2166073, member: 39&quot;]The point in Denmark is that the government merely wants to allow certain businesses (gas stations, small restaurants, etc.) to accept non-cash payments only. For most people in DK that won&#039;t be a big deal, as they tend to pay even small amounts with plastic or via phone. Roughly the same attitude in the other Nordic countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that is not the demise of cash. Other places in Denmark are still required to accept coins and notes. The &quot;no cash please&quot; policy, however, applies elsewhere too. When I try to buy a shuttle bus ticket at LAX, it&#039;s credit card only, no cash. Here in Germany (where many love using cash <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) try paying your taxes using coins or bills. In the Netherlands cash is usually fine with most stores unless you try using 1 and 2 cent coins or €200/€500 (sometimes even €100) notes, and so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I do not care as long as I have a choice: cash or non-cash. And I suppose that, if the driving force behind phasing cash out is a government, people will find ways around this. Even for perfectly legitimate reasons, not everybody wants every single transaction to be tracked.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
