Cash may be on the way out, in Denmark, where credit card and mobile
pavments have been adopted_widely and have become more popular than
old-fashioned cash payments. Figures from 2019 show that last year only
16 percent of ordinary store payments were made in cash! The government
is now considering a proposal to allow businesses such as restaurants,
convenience stores and clothing stores to refuse cash payments)
Dana Hasbrook of Copenhagen is looking forward to a_cashless_society. and
savs, Having to withdraw money is inconvenient and _risky." Police officer
Peter Nielson also supports the proposal. "Criminals won't be able to steal
money from stores anymore, which will make my job easier."
Not everyone is happy about a world without cash, however. /…This is a
double-edged sword. Certainly, people's wallets will be lighter, but what
happens when there's a problem with the system that processes credit card
and mobile payments?” says Mary Daniels, a schoolteacher. “Also, when you use
a credit card at a store, staff members can see your name. People shouldn't
have to give out their personal information for the sake of convenience."
