We would also hate it. I have to do math at every transaction? There's different denominations (which make no sense), and some are paper and some are metal?

I have to do math at every transaction? There's different denominations (which make no sense), and some are paper and some are metal? How do I authenticate that it's a real bill? What happens when it wears out? Are you really going to keep inventing new designs every couple years as criminals learn to make their own? What if I want to buy something and I have enough cash but the vendor can't "make change" (actually happened to me the other day)?
Cash is one of those great ideas, like bicycles and music, that I'm glad we invented long ago, because I doubt it'd ever get invented/discovered in today's ROI-above-all-else environment.

I haven't seen the focus group testing, but I'm comfortable predicting that. Some of those issues are problems for the cash-issuer, not the user.
