  You’d love Japan, then! They’re big on privacy and, as a result, cash.

      Okay, but… that’s kind of on you for not paying attention, right? You could lose anything by dropping and missing it somewhere, not just money. This isn’t a reason specifically against cash, more against the physical world.

      And a computer glitch could wipe out your entire balance. How often are you dropping 20 dollars where you can’t pick it up?

        I’ve had an oline account for 20 plus years, there is statements, there proof of funds for online accounts. I dropped it and didn’t realize it, rare but I’ve never had a computer glitch wipe out a dime

  Honestly, more money should be physical

  We need to redo the coinage. A dime ain’t worth what it was. We need a 1, 2, 5, and 7$ coin

    We already have dollar coins. They’re “gold” and can be gotten by overpaying at vending machines. I haven’t bothered trying to get a roll from the bank yet.

    I do agree we need higher value ones though.
