They only mention the problem with banks not wanting to handle cash any more, which leaves people who still depend on cash with few options.

Some issues not listed i the article, but which I have noticed here in Sweden:

- Many shops are no longer accepting cash payments, which leaves you unable to transact if you don't have either a payment card (Visa/MC mostly) or the local payment app (Swish).

- Your banks systems doesn't have 100% uptime, and when their systems are being serviced you can't transact.

- Your cellphone carrier doesn't have 100% area coverage, which also makes you unable to transact. If you're a city dweller you probably won't find out until it's too late, and you might have to travel miles to get enough reception to transact.

If it was government plan to phase out cash then it sounds it’s working as intended. I thought there’s something unforeseen like new types of problems or scams emerging.
