The War On Cash?
It seems this is being aimed at drug dealers however other parts of the article say differently!

What is a surprise is how little notice the rollout of Chase's new policy has received. As of March, Chase began restricting the use of cash in selected markets, including Greater Cleveland. The new policy restricts borrowers from using cash to make payments on credit cards, mortgages, equity lines, and auto loans. Chase even goes as far as to prohibit the storage of cash in its safe deposit boxes . In a letter to its customers dated April 1, 2015 pertaining to its "Updated Safe Deposit Box Lease Agreement," one of the highlighted items reads: "You agree not to store any cash or coins other than those found to have a collectible value." Whether or not this pertains to gold and silver coins with no numismatic value is not explained.

Screw big banking. The war on cash is in full swing. Of course it is for your own good according to your Federal Government.
Yep and here's more! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-10/citi-economist-says-it-might-be-time-to-abolish-cash
Fundamentally, the ELB problem comes down to cash. According to Buiter, the ELB only exists at all due to the existence of cash, which is a bearer instrument that pays zero nominal rates. Why have your money on deposit at a negative rate that reduces your wealth when you can have it in cash and suffer no reduction?
I worked completely out of all debt for 15 years while paying for everything in cash. Then I decided to buy a house just to find out that I couldn't buy a house because I had NO Credit, not that there was bad credit, there was no credit. So to be able to buy a house I have had to open up a couple credit cards just to build my credit rating. I pay all of those cards off with cash every month though.
ALL my cash has collectible value...............[:p][:p]
The more I collect the more value I have..........
Perhaps, I'll store my favorite Salmon Fillets in mine after I empty it.
He said the FBI IRS and other Fed agencies hated cash, loved credit cards checks or any written document great paper trail. Cash no paper no trail hard to prove a case
The Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."
Do that, they will get a letter from my law firm pointing out that we have offered payment in legal tender, they refused it, next refusal will be construed as cancellation of the debt. Pound sand, Yours truly.
