Fragile or heavy depending on denomination, germ-ridden, easily lost or stolen, no protection or recourse if either occurred, inconvenient requiring extra trips at gas stations and the like, no rebate or rewards programs. I've got fuck all to worry about if Agent Mike knows I bought Wheat Thins vs. Triscuits so no downside and all upside to plastic for me.

Only reason I still use any cash is for very occasional vending machine purchases and even that is because the US, or my part at least, is 20 years behind Asia and Europe in vending technology.

Hasten the day of implanted chips and retinal scans.
