I believe it might actually happen if the currency system were rationalized. Using paper to purchase candy bars and the production of coins with negative value is madness. I think the next rationalization will be a total elimination of coins and currency. With plastic and electronic money gaining more and more acceptance it is a matter of time. I saw a kid buying a bottle of water for under a dollar last week and use a debit card. My $20 bill was scrutinized by the cashier... Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 03/15/2016 11:25 pm As soon as they figure those questions out then cash will be gone. Basically they need a way to anonymize these payments and provide a reliable cash substitute. It won't be soon, but I think most of us will see it eventually. In the meantime I doubt they will make much substantive changes to the currency system for a long while. Report this Post to the Staff

As the dollar continues to inflate and coins are worth less and less, I can imagine them just being eliminated. I agree with cladking and n9jig that notes will still be necessary for a long time- or is every single kid required to have a credit card scanner so he can get his allowance?
