Ed,

I feel I must speak out against government and corporate attempts to discourage the use of cash in our everyday transactions.

Charities, fetes, local markets, roadside stalls are only a few of those adversely affected. This kind of greed and control is a creeping menace to us all, especially the disadvantaged in our society. Cash is the only legal tender. The rest are just promissory notes. I urge all folks to consider the damage this will do.

Contact governments, boycott cashless businesses and use cash whenever you can before we lose the right to have it. Cash may not always remain king if we allow otherwise.
