Cashless society

They look mint (see what I did there :-)). Rare notes are also very collectable and have some value. Genuinely though, if you have worked with cash as much as I did - starting from being a Branch teller, its dirty and smelly and you need to give your hands a bloody good wash very regularly.

It is a thoroughly fascinating subject though for a nerd like me. Managing cash stocks, driving ATM availability, for someone who likes metrics for performance it was almost the perfect job. Not so great was watching a JCV drive trough the wall of a cash centre though. It was certainly never boring.

All my coins are clean :) Well the non numismatic ones are any way.

I really do understand you mate and maybe when time rolls on the system we have used for thousands of years may die out even more so now because things change so quickly.
 
I used to run the cash operation for a major bank. You would not believe the infrastructure needed to support it from designing and printing notes to cash centres all equipped with state of the art kit and security, to the cash in transit business that the likes of Securicor run, to a fleet of 1000's of ATM's and their maintenance and replenishment. Not to mention the cash handling in Branches and the security implications of that.

The only thing I ever use cash for now is the car wash and the window cleaner. It would be best to get rid completely albeit the tax evading and criminal fraternity would probably disagree.
Or maybe people who watched the banks decimate this country ?
Banks are not there for you and me, they are there to screw us over, keep us under and make millions for the few.
