    From my experience, when a young kid is standing there counting out their money, there are a lot of smiles.

    It is one of those little things, but it is really nice to see. You miss that with a card.

      I don’t think this is universally true. Both my kids weren’t too fussed if their pocket money was cash, or deposited in their accounts.

          I hate cash. I just have a card wallet, and a note clip if I absolutely need it. Otherwise I carry no cash.

            I don’t really use cash, I have a card wallet also.

            But for pocket money and going to markets and the like, I use cash. Cash is just a tool, and sometimes it is the best tool for the job.

              Absolutely. Which is why I think having a digital currency is great, because it adds another tool we can use.

              Those that want to can use it, and those that don’t can continue to use cash. I don’t agree with some of the naysayers that digital cash will lead to the removal of physical cash.

                Agreed, at least in the short term. Physical cash will be around for a long time yet.
