<p>[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 939894, member: 15915"]The key reason the government keeps changing over to electronic transactions is simply to save the government unnecessarily spent money. It cost a large fortune for them to purchase paper to mail all the checks and to pay someone to print them out and to pay to mail that check to each person entitled to a benefit. If they hand you a card and auto direct a set amount towards that account each month they just cut all those afore mentioned costs... this in my opinion is in no way a move towards eliminating hard currency in any form, nor is the choice states are making to place electronic tolls, once again, this clears up much congestion on major road ways where as people had to come to a complete stop to make an exchange and the state would have to pay a physical person to make these transactions in person each and every stop, so further more this is also absolutely nothing to do with getting rid of hard currency, not to mention those electronic tolls are chosen on a state level, not a government level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
