I-hate-change people! Personally, I hate cash! If a society goes cashless, you never have to worry about getting mugged on the street for your wallet. Pickpockets are out of work. Rob a store? Why? Armored cars? Don't need them. They don't have any cash. Steal a credit card? Who cares? The card companies always pick up on unusual charges and do not make you pay for the unauthorized charges. No more fumbling around for the right change: I hate being behind one of those people. No more mixed up crumpled wads of bills, over stuffed wallets, mistakenly giving out a twenty dollar bill instead of a 5 or 10, or running to the cash machine. You either use your debit card or better yet, like I do, use a credit card that earns you cash or redeemable whatever to pay for everything BUT always pay off the balance every month to avoid any interest. Cash will go the way of fossil fuels someday and I also would like to see a universal currency. If most of Europe can have a common currency then why not the world?
PS: I hate checks too! Let's ban them also!
