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!
News flash fossil fuel will NEVER ago away, everything modern convince made from fossil fuel. Dollar use most of world not euro. But, wait few year the yen will take over. You can bet it won’t be euro.
