More so in middle to lower class areas,people keep jars,piggy banks, etc..... I find when times are hard people resource these resources of cash when they are in need of money for an emergency situation . Most of the time the money sits as it's to much trouble to count it or roll it etc.</p><p>As for the upper middle or upper classes what I see is mostly cashless.
