The Case for Cash

We are all familiar with the earnest reasons for using cash. But what other benefits are there?

• Cash by the people, for the people. It is class-less – used by kings and paupers alike
• It’s free 
• Its waterproof
• It’s safe from cybercrime
• You can use it without any kit or connection, no third party is involved
• It’s great for birthdays, Christmas, Diwali etc.
• Once you’ve paid, you’ve paid. Its immediate, simple, fast, private
• It is the ultimate sustainable product. It is the definition of a circular economy, going around and around and then back to the central bank to be reused
• It’s retro. Retro is cool
• Nothing connects people like paying in cash. Little distances people more than tap and go or self-check out
• It teaches your children to count and value
