Re: A cashless society - the push for plastic

Hi

Cash is essential here, either cash or barter.

I picked up a small table and chairs for someone in the village today, her car is not big enough.

I was paid with an apple pie and some duck eggs.

Eh? Then what on earth do you need cash for? No GST on barter either.

Re: A cashless society - the push for plastic

A drinks machine at work as now got a swipe ability installed on it,either with cards or your phone,its not the public demanding it,the companies are obviously pushing it.No need to have a kitty in the machine for change to be given,no one carrying the money to a bank.Its just a little step at the moment which inevitably will turn into a marathon.

Yes, I can see a lot of sense in that. I assume that the transactions are completely secure.
