This reminds me of the coin shortage a few years ago. I use cash everywhere locally. But people are using apps on their phones to ride a bus or even buy a cup of coffee. The clerks usually don't have enough change to give to me so they just say don't worry. T
"They" want it all electronic.
This one is real. Happened to me twice and to other people where I live. Once in a business check that was written by my secretary to a local court reporting service downstate (check was mailed from downtown Chicago) and one was a personal check stolen from presumably the mailbox, although I wouldn't doubt it if post office employees were doing this too.
I started using cash because of Catherine Austin Fitts. She started the Cash Friday movement where we were to only use cash on Friday. This is a movement against the CBDC. Then she raised it up to Cash Everyday.
Here's the great part for me. I would take out cash from an ATM every week ($300) and use cash from that. If I had any left over $50 bills, I put them in a pencil box. After about one year, I had just over $6000. When I had a recent auto repair ($1450), I just took the cash out of my pencil box. Bonus - my auto shop gives 5% off if you use cash.
It's a great little habit that really pays off.

I do too, sometimes even giving my loose change to pay so I can get rid of some of it. I never use any kind of card shopping locally.

Good reason to buy a safe. Keep your cash, and guns, ammo, important papers like the title to your car, etc. in there for safe keeping.
