Paper money (dollars) will be obsolete Soon

if the stores would just say "cash only" one day a week, that would cause havoc! this is just one more way the gubbermint wants to control things. maybe they'll all become communistic and kill all normal folks like they did the jewish people?

Know several here around Hermann, get their check go to grocery store, cash that check and go pay bills, NOT ever had a Bank Account, do not want one.  IRS hates them as has to send them a Check for refunds if ever get one, they send a Money Order when owe.  BTW, NOT Indigenous Nor Black Nor Latino, White as day is long, four are Women.

But, there are possibly some off the grid'rs  in that number, and they are some of the ones the gu'mnt is looking for! they WILL pay their taxes! Lou, your thinking/assumptions are wrong  !!

Funny how times change, Grandmother for some reason had kept a series of pay envelopes of my Grandfather's, she destroyed them before we could abscond with them.  Had his annual payroll written on the outside, each pay period where showed taxes paid against gross pay and his net pay result which was In Cash in the envelopes back in the 1940s.  Shell Oil Co Roxana IL.  The envelope was returned for each subsequent payday until end of year so would be used as a W2 is today.  She kept the last IIRC four or five years worth before they paid in Paychecks.

Lou, your thinking/assumptions are wrong  !!   Your quite welcome . Sadly, you also had to bring up UNION pay checks , . well OK then, thanks for letting me know!

I don't know what I am talking about, and now I have upset you.....anything else you would like to bring up? Since my thinking and assumptions are all wrong, I probably should have consulted you before I brought up union paychecks.... my bad

Don't lose any sleep over it Lou  It's just that I would wager that 98% of the checks that get cashed FOR cash have already gotten the "taxes" taken out, correct me if I'm wrong please. Don't let STEVE  influence the conversation though because apparently he still lives in the time frame of the Viet Nam/Berlin wall coming down as far as "phones" LOL!!! After the first of January, the nation will get back on track . 

Good I'm tired of getting to town and finding out the old gal needed my cash for a new pair of shoes or sumptin.      

cash is king

I ran my construction company until 2009. On Fridays I’d collect hrs. At lunch and write pay checks soon after. Often times the guys would ask me to cash the checks so I’d go to the bank and cash the checks for the ones who wanted. Several of my guys wanted theirs in cash.
This reminds me of a funny story.
We built a vacation home for a nice family from OK. They had a son about 12. He was a very nice and polite kid. He rode around the little lake community on a nice little Honda dirt bike.
We were building down the road and one Friday he stopped by to say hi. I asked what he’d take for the Honda? He said it’s not for sale. I told him let me know if he changed his mind. I said look here. I shower him those envelopes full of cash. His eyes were big as dinner plates.

Cashless society has been in the works for a few years now, I believe in my life time it will be reality, Cash you have stashed will be a collectors item only. Big brother wants control of all you money, collect taxes on all of your money, Just as Steve stated he does all transaction by credit card or Bank card, That will be the reason for the justification. Better go back and write a few checks, pay a few bills with cash, and keep that bank card in you pocket

Na Tom, just the chip in your finger or the bar code tattoo. Park, beep, and go. You have nothing to fear. Just smile and carry on, citizen.

again, 30% of ALL TRANSACTIONS are done in CASH today..... Paper money is not going away in our life time... will be YEARS away.

Oh ,,and I have a "reloadable" card for internet purchases that I really like for the security of it,,

I used to think a lot of things would last "a lifetime", a good many decades anyway.

One thing this year has taught me, is chit can change FAST and DRASTICALLY.

To the "PAPER IS GONE" crowd, where does the stock piles of GOLD come into play ?? I've NEVER been behind a customer trying to pay the cashier with gold, BUT , I've been behind an AS*()&$E that tried paying with a "card" that wouldn't go through AFTER 20 minutes AND 8 SWIPES of the card in the checkout line  !!
