When was the last time you handled cash?

[dave]

This took some serious thought, I use very little cash normally anyway, most of the time it is credit or debit card. But after some thought it was back in mid january for a taxi from Rome airport to my hotel on a business trip, the taxi was only because it was late at night, normally I take the train. And only cash because he wouldn’t take a credit card.

Pretty much the only cash I use goes into the vending machine at work, and that hasn't happened for a few months.

I rarely visit shops, and if I have to buy fuel I use the pay at pump (by card) option wherever possible.

Many of our local pubs take cards, but usually my wife goes to the bar anyway.

I know exactly the time and the day I last handled cash.

May 9th 1970. 2.30 p.m. I quietly bought my best man a drink at my wedding day reception.

My new wife spotted me and said "That's enough of that, thank you!"

That, good people is the last time I ever saw or handled cash......

Sorry folks, I can't remember when, but at my age now I can't afford cash!!! I have to pay with the card to get by…………………..

Saturday in the fish shop. Pound coins and some smash, but do admit I had almost forgotten how to do it...!

Took a while to recover, all that loot in one go:thinking:

Wrote a check last week for my haircut. usually pay cash for everything whenever possible.........I like using cash and coin as it requires someone else to be there to help carry out the transaction...............that my friends is called "commerce".

writeing a cheque? every month for our house rent

Excluding Traveller's Cheques, it was 1982. Wrote a check to pay my rent and it bounced...Twice!!! The funny part was I had 5 times the amount of the check in my bank account. I went to the bank, showed them the bounced checks and asked why. After a sort of stupid answer from the manager, I not so politely closed my account (I called him an idiot among other things). No checks were written since then, even with my new bank which offered me a checking acount………...………...

You can’t even get cheques anymore in the Netherlands, to the best of my knowledge. Cashing one was a pain in the arse even twenty years ago, when I occasionally got one as payment from the USA.

Two days ago. £40.00 for 10 bags of compost - delivered. Although, the funny thing was, the wife, had to remind me I had £100 squirreled away in a draw upstairs. Did I, oh yes, it seems I did.

Didn’t you let some of it go at SMC last year, or was it counterfeit? :tongue-out3:

Come to think of it, maybe the last time it paid something in cash too, all in cards and PayPal nowadays…:thinking:

[Allen Dewire]

Damn Fernando, You are so right!!! The Rabo Bank ATM in Riethoven and me were one a first name basis last year!!! Every morning it was "how much can I have today". I think my Visa card is still burning…...
