This is like the guy writing in the "Guardian" advocating abolishing the urinal.

I do not think cash will ever be abolished by law, but I do see it fading into virtual non use. It is expected in the electronic age.

When is the last time any of you put actual pen to paper for correspondence? Sure, some may still do it, but only a slim percentage of communication is still done that way. This is what will become of cash. It will not go away, but be nothing more than novelty.

The answer to the original question is yes.

I tend to agree with this almost completely. The reason I say "almost completely" is because the book of Revelation speaks of a future time when a "mark" system will be in place, where no person will be able to buy or sell anything unless they have the mark, either on their right hand or on their forehead (computer chip?). This tells me that nothing we have now will be acceptable for buying and/or selling. Everything we have now will be abolished. I'm not trying to turn this into a Biblical prophecy discussion by any means, but these scriptures, in their own way, provide an answer to the topic's question.

Hey darth, I'm not a bible guy but I read it for fun once. Was that what I remember from my previous post about a one world currency? I was just being glib about scanning our palms though

Christ had an opinion about moneychangers too.

Yeah he didn't think they should be IN the temple. (No comment about being outside the temple, or whether they were a good/bad thing.)

Going cashless strikes me as a great way for government to control money. I know I'm paranoid, but that's not the same as being wrong.

Hey chute... it's not paranoia if you really are being followed... it could become the financial equivalent of smartphones under joint control of the nsa & irs... oh wait, they're already doing that

I can say for an absolute fact that cash is not going anywhere anytime soon. Somewhere around 20% of Americans do not have bank accounts, mostly because they have bad/credit or chargeoffs and can't get any bank to open one for them. So what do those people do? They deal primarily in cash. Then you have your paranoid faction (some seen in this thread) who is scared to death of the government seeing what they spend or of the banks collapsing, so they deal primarily in cash.

I work in a bank, and a heavy percentage of our customers completely cash out their paychecks every week and very seldom do transactions with their debit card.

I can get how you would THINK cash is going by the wayside if you are a person who only uses cards and doesn't see cash being used often but as someone who works in a bank, I can say pretty certaintly that the use of cash is alive and well. Cash will never go away.

Re: moneychangers
The sin was NOT in changing money. People travelled to make offerings at the temple.
Instead of carrying animals they bought the animals locally after exchanging
their money. The sin was in charging usurious rates of the faithful.

It is possible that cash at go away one day. Within a generation of those born into the. Ashley's society, coin collecting would dwindle rapidly except for those who may want some for bullion value.

Isn't going to happen any time soon where I live. I live in rural Minnesota. Other than mortgage or utility bills, which most people out here pay by check, most people pay with cash for groceries, liquor, restaurants, local farm markets, auctions, coin shows, etc. in my area. Plastic is generally only used if you are out of cash.

I have to agree that cash will never go away. Even in just a general way it would mean fhat your local economy would grind to a halt everytime there is a power or network outage. I also see a lot of people that have to deal or only want to deal in cash on the margins of society.

At a coin show, today, half the vendors were set up for cash only. The others would take a card or accept PayPal via smartphone.
