> Cash is still king in Germany, and it always weirds tourists out. I love it. I drove to Germany to have the maintenance done, change the tires and renew the extended manufacturer warranty for two years on my german car (extended warranty which I need to pay for) and it was a hefty bill. I pulled a bit more than 3 000 EUR in cash and they were just used to it. As in: a totally normal occurrence. I did it basically to test if it was true that cash was king in Germany: I had credit and debit cards in backup just in case. But cash just worked.
