1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 06/21/2011 9:40 pm Ugly, I wish more people could understand your viewpoint. The phrase "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" is fiction. Freedom means adhering to a set of principles, not accepting invasive measures because you "have nothing to hide". A cashless society sounds great until you consider that someday the government may skim some sales tax off the top them you buy something at a garage sale with your digital credits. A completely traceable system puts people at the absolute mercy of those that manage the flow of those credits. Report this Post to the Staff
oasis Valued Member Australia 138 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 08:43 am Another huge problem with the "cashless" society is that you're relying on the computer systems staying up at all time. I believe three of the four major banks in Australia have had problems just in the past few months where their systems have gone down for a day or two. Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 1:21 pm I believe in metal cash like gold and silver bullion or coins it seem to be the safety zone when the stock Marget or world economy goes bad and paper money or promises are all you have left its hard to eat on promises.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 06/23/2011 8:11 pm I'm going to check the bills for anything unusual. First runs can have errors they don't foresee. An example is the $100 peso note from Mexico with a Freudian slip in the legend.... which incidentally has a train on it - a note with roughly the same value as the future $10 CAD with a train on it.

EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 01:29 am On the usefulness of $100 bills for lawful commerce. At my local Costco, you can pay for items in cash, or by American Depress. I don't really want to get an American Depress card for the eight times a year I go there, so I'm stuck with cash. If I wanted to buy a $700 flatscreen, that's 35 twenties, which are awfully hard to keep track of. I found its much easier to go to the bank and get 7 hundreds. Report this Post to the Staff
billfrak Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 4:08 pm Will grading standards change for these 'plastic' notes? Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 8:52 pm I imagine there have been allowances made for grading. Looking into Australia bank note grading, likely be the same for us. Report this Post to the Staff
