Never will happen
Never will happen
Online anonymity, that's a joke. Only cash allows you to not give out any name or ID.
Safe? Any hacker can get your money or ID. Granted a thief can steal your wallet or cash from your home. But a can of cash in the back yard, is safe, as long as only YOU know it is there.
Long as prostitution, drugs and even legal transactions, such as yard work, that people don't want taxed, cash will exist. Even if a country, say Canada outlaws cash, people will use cash from another country or someone will create a currency.Comment

There is only one Mint Chip.. and this is it

Implementing a cashless society is going to be virtually impossible. There will always be an underground economy and the barter system.Rich"at"rebel-ads.com

Cashless society would be very convenient. However, it's also bankers' wet dream. Imagine them being able to loan out tons of cash they can now REALLY produce out of thin air. And it won't run the risk of any bank run, since no one can actually go to the bank and withdraw all their cash.Whitehat is for chumps
If you don't do it, somebody else will - true story!Comment

What if you just want a candy bar or drink, you put it on a card?
I hate cards as you have to show ID here, I always pay cash.
I'm not having some kid with my id and cc details.
I know what my old friends used to get up to with cloning.

Chip based technology is one of the first steps towards this. If you don't think cash will eventually be phased out, think again.
Canada is moving to chip-based technology
Banks and the major credit card companies are now moving to chip technology for debit and credit cards. In addition to the magnetic stripe on the back, cards now also have a microchip ? really a small computer ? in the card.
When making a purchase, rather than swiping your card and signing a receipt, you now insert it in the store payment terminal, punch in a personal identification number (PIN) and leave your card in the terminal while the transaction is processed. These cards use a technology called ?cryptography? that allows the card and the store terminal to communicate with each other during the transaction and carry out security checks to ensure the card is valid.
The microchip is state-of-the-art in payment card technology and is extremely difficult for criminals to duplicate. In fact, chips cards have reduced fraud in a number of other countries where they are currently used. The implementation of chip-based technology is well on its way and most retailers and consumers are now able to do chip and PIN transactions.
Visa Canada and MasterCard Canada are bringing chip card technology to Canada on behalf of the banks and the financial institutions that issue Visa and MasterCard branded credit cards. To learn more about chip technology, visit their websites at:
