WHO Urges People To Go 'Cashless' Now !
Yes-sir-ree we all need to go cashless because of the corona 2019 virus, says a branch of The United Nations,The World Health Organization! How much you want'a bet That Congress extends Reauthorization of Section 215 of Patriot act because of virus too! 
I doubt we will go back to paper bills after the coming Pandemic after all who wants to die because of dirty virus infected cash!

The WHO warned on Monday that the virus could survive on banknotes,
potentially spreading Covid-19 within communities, and across the world.
To reduce the risk of being infected by money, the NGO advised citizens in countries struggling with outbreaks to favor digital payments when possible, the Daily Telegraph reported.
That the WHO is telling the public to avoid cash is hardly a surprise: research has found that coronaviruses have been found to live on surfaces for as long as 9 days.

however our Uncle Sam wants to know where and who has money no way to collect tax or track movement when cash is used
when cash is ban or pushed out completely think of the tax that will get collected off every transaction .
drug money, hookers , and private sale of any item too name a few would be more apt to get busted . like all things I am sure they will come up with a way to make a transaction under the table ( LOL )
flip side honestly I very seldom have more than 50.00 cash its most days its like 10.00 just to easy to use a CC and get cash back when you pay the bill every month . direct deposit started me on it credit union never gave out cash had to use the ATM's and most charged to get my money , s
do I like it not really but it is what it is
like you stated never know when a good deal will pop up . and in cases like that cash is a good friend to have along
I worked with a fellow for many years he carried a dime yep just a dime all his wife would allow him and he said if he did not have any money on him the temptation to even buy anything was not there
at the time the pay phones in his town one of the last to charge a dime ( most were a quarter at the time ) to call home .
not sure what happened after cell phones come along maybe his wife took his dime LOL
