NCLT - Collectibles Surviving Beyond The Upcoming Cashless Society?

To jump in I have to confess it may happen quicker than you can imagine. Hard currency is going to disappear . I have been involved in the business of supplying cash in the ATM business I chose to get out as there is little logic in favor of cash , banks hate handling cash its expensive and its exposed,governments don't like it because of the fear of the underground economy and lack of control . Sorry but if you have the government and the banks and most businesses posed to profit by eliminating cash, its gone. We are all witnesses to the end of the cash operating society and the inevitable takeover of e-commerce.
The effect on this hobby also afraid to say devastating, why,The next generation will simply not relate, collect pennies why grandpa ,whats a penny anyway what was it for and I imagine my answer to be something like if you save 150 of em you could buy a can of Coke, to which I would probably get a response like no thanks I'll just use my debit app on my phone.

This is a direct quote from the following article you posted:




So, which is it? It may be declining, but not quite at the rate that cashless fans hope.




That's a gross exaggeration. Take anyone who has the capacity to understand money and present them with a penny, cent or equivalent. It will be a long time before that person has no idea what its purpose is/was.

with Earle and llewellin. Many markets cannot be overcome so easily with cashless transactions. I'm fairly familiar with flea markets and what is most acceptable there.

In a cashless society, drug dealers will use Bitcoin.
Transactions are untraceable for part fractions of Bitcoin.
World Government couldn't care less about drug dealers; it is only the honest people they really wish to control.

Will NCLT survive? I don't think so, except in strict bullion form.
NCLT will cease to be made, because there will be no circulating currency. Bullion coins will still be around, but they will be the same as stashing silver or gold bullion bars.

Dealing in ancient, hammered, milled and previously circulated 'modern' machine pressed coins that used to be used for money, (and banknotes),
will still form the body of coins (and banknotes), that we refer to as numismatics.

No, nothing to do with Pitney Bowes. A lot of people never heard of them before.

What killed stamp collecting is no one send letters anymore. The only things I get in the mail is bills and junk mail. In the old days before email, people send person letters and Christmas cards. That is how they communicate with each other.

My friend who works at the post office tells me letters are now only a small portion of their job. The vast majority of work at the post office involves parcels.

I also thought so, but didn't think too much of it since I never pay with cash. Cash is now refused in some businesses in Europe so I figure the same had started happening here as well. Because it will.

So in this case I'm thinking maybe it's because my son is only 15 and they were worried about card fraud? Since he doesn't have a driver's license yet...

I think we need to get to the bottom of this.

Let me asure you, only a very small portion of businesses refuse cash here in Europe -- so far.
