1. You don't get circulation finds in your change when you don't get change.
2. I wouldn't have my stash of junk silver saved from my change if I'd been paying with cards for the last 30 years.
3. Coin dealers also prefer cash, and offer discounts/special deals for paying in cash. Many other small businesses also offer special cash deals. They like to avoid the 1% to 2% card fees when possible.
4. Cash has no magnetic strips to wear out.
All that said, I'll second canadian_coins that I'd rather have a credit card anyday versus a debit card. $50 fraud limit (vs. total account cleanout!), and the protection of a chargeback in case of a dispute with a retailer.
