Latest Government Accountability Office Report Says Keep The $1 Bill

While occasionally working the retail parts counter at Mercedes-Benz of Tampa, I opened the cash drawer on a regular basis for customers asking me to break a $20 so they could leave a tip for the in-house barista. Close to 90% of parts sales were paid for by credit/debit card.

Personally, I carry cash but seldom use it, and since the advent of Sun Pass for toll roads, I no longer have a stash of coins in the car. Nothing against physical coinage or paper money, just a matter of convenience. I haven't left my house with coins in my pocket in decades.

What he might say though is "do you do Venmo"? All the cool farmers are using it now...

I do agree it will take awhile before cash goes away but I do find myself using cash, writing checks, etc. less and less as technology continues to progress.
