<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 59639, member: 1910&quot;]We in the West sometimes get ahead of ourselves.&nbsp; A cashless society isn&#039;t in our near future.&nbsp; There are still places in the world where barter is quite common.&nbsp; Even in countries we would consider above that sort of thing.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been there and seen it.&nbsp; Even in the United States, cash is still a primary means of the performance of the act of commerce.&nbsp; Go to a poorer part of town, and you&#039;ll see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for counterfeiting, as others have noted, we&#039;ll always have it, and always will.&nbsp; But at the moment, US money is secure.&nbsp; The Secret Service is aggressive at find scofflaws, and circulating coins aren&#039;t valuable enough to counterfeit in large numbers.&nbsp; I&nbsp; think I read somewhere that less than 5% of the US currency circulating worldwide is believed to be counterfeit, and that includes third-world countries where you might expect counterfeiting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
