Never have a problem using cash where I live .
In fact it is my preferred method of payment for
day to day incidental purchases.
Hate Credit Cards and only use my debit card for
Bigger purchases .

I love using my credit card, which most of the time is accessed with a tap of the phone. I never use my debit card, no real protection from fraud. I only have it because it is also my ATM card, which I have not used since... how long did I have that $50?

To each their own. I believe we all deserve the choice, not a mandate, that includes businesses in a free market.

As I have said many times, 100% cashless will happen once we old heads shuffle off because the youngest of us choose to be cashless.

So, what's the point of having a person at the gate if they don't take cash?

Optimistically, to stop fare jumpers? Pessimistically, to collect a paycheck and pension. =P

Jbuck, many smaller restaurants around here are cash only. I think there is a backlash against all the insidious fees they are forced to pay on every digital transaction.

Most of the "mom & pop" places here take both, but will at least discount cash sales by generously rounding down (which tells me they raised prices to cover the fees). A deli I visited weekly before I started working from home—when my cash use was more frequent—would round down to the nearest dollar. I miss that place.

As to the topic: "NCLT - Collectibles Surviving Beyond The Upcoming Cashless Society?"
I believe the RCM will continue to pump out NCLT as long as people are willing to pay the premium on theses coins over the metal cost.
I wonder if my collection of NCLT will be worth only melt value in the distant future. (20-30 yrs).
Something for my great grandchildren to worry about.

If they are good at business, they will as long as the market supports it.

This is fine by me as long as we enjoy what we are collecting while we are above ground.
