Around here the Krogers are stopping giving coins in change due to shortage. Here is what a friend of mine stated, then I answered, and his answer back. I do not think I can explain about what happens when there is no physcial money without revealing too much about myself on FB. I don't think we have enough similar outlook to explain online.
I think this group will understand, and I wonder how you would have answered. I did not answer his reply to me.

Okay so I've heard about this change shortage a little bit lately and I don't understand why people are so upset about potentially becoming a cashless society. The reasons I've heard as to why people are upset is because you can't slip your grandkid a 5 dollar bill and not buying things from market places and not able to be paid for side jobs.
We are living in the era FIFTY years after landing on the moon. We have so many ways of transferring money efficiently and safely.
There won't be as many hold ups at stores because there's no money to put in the bag! It's a safer and cleaner way. Am I missing something that I'm not thinking about? Seriously, if someone can tell me a good reason to not be a cashless society, I'll change the way I feel about it. But I don't see a good reason not to be as of now. Feel free to comment. I'm not a money expert or anything so I'm all ears.

digital money can be hacked out of your account. And government can take it with the right orders. If the card readers are down for any time there will be no payments made, no buying or selling.

not worried about being hacked as I have never been hacked in my 8 years of having the same account. If you're getting hacked, most people know rather quickly and the bank makes it right. Also algorithms in the banks that will notify you of anything suspicious like when I flew to Phoenix 2 years ago and the bank called me and asked if I was in Phoenix. What "right orders" do you mean? Child support etc.?
