Cashless society...yes or no? Pros or cons?

77. Please!

I'll never see it but the closer we get the happier I'll be. No more filthy germ ridden tokens which are either absurdly fragile or ridiculously heavy compared to value. No more easily lost or stolen geegaws which tempt muggers and conmen. No more educationally subnormal cashiers struggling mightily to work out how much to give back for a $9.49 purchase when given a $10 bill and two quarters. No more millions upon millions wasted on producing near worthless cupro-nickel discs just because they bear an image of a president who once lived in a state which now has 20 electoral votes. No more jangling bulging pockets with discolored patches from wear. No more wrapping for the sake of a couple of dollars or giving 20% commissions to machines that do it for you. No more confusion for the vision impaired due to the arrogance of a mint that refuses to use different sizes and sufficiently different colors for notes even though the rest of the world has done so for decades. No more frustration with feeding vending machines that won't accept anything but iron-crisp bills (even though the same bill slots at token-using amusement venues will accept anything better than a 5 year old's drawing of a bill) about 15 yeas after European and Asian machines went card-driven. No more dealing with dishonest staff (or customers in reverse!) who are just sure you gave them a $10 with Jackson's picture on it.

Instead I get rebates up to 5%, fraud/loss protection (never needed although I've been almost exclusively digital money for 20 years and a majority online shopper for more than 10), easy if not automatic budget info so I can track what I spend, everything I need in a 1/4" thick smooth sleeve, and never once had issues with electrticity outages (they just wrote the number down to run when the power came back).

So yes an enthusiastic bring it on here.
