<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1468206, member: 39&quot;]First of all, I don&#039;t think that the end of cash is near. It will just be less and less relevant. I mentioned Sweden before; here is article about the situation there: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-edges-closer-to-becoming-a-cashless-society-2012-3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-edges-closer-to-becoming-a-cashless-society-2012-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-edges-closer-to-becoming-a-cashless-society-2012-3</a>&nbsp; That website looks a little odd to me, but this is an AP article which I have read in German elsewhere. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So expect cash to be around for some more time.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there already are lots of places where cash is not accepted as means of payment, and there will be more in the future. Cannot really imagine walking around with gold bars in my wallet, but I am sure that we will also see more &quot;alternative&quot; payment methods, such as the Chiemgauer (Bavaria, DE) or Berkshares (Mass., US). Hard to predict the future <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but the use of cash will certainly not come to a screeching halt any time soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
