However, cash still pays a massive part in our economy. Mostly for people who want to remain anonymous with their transactions. Heaps of livelihoods depend on cash; farmers markets etc.
- te_chris 15y agoCame here to say this. I barely ever use cash here, even for small 1-2 dollar transactions. Cash is an inconvenience. Mobile eftpos is pretty sophisticated here and you'll find that a lot of stalls at places like farmers markets often have eftpos machines. We haven't got a square et al here yet, but once that arrives I can't really see people ever using cash for much of anything.
