Cash? In Germany? Outrageous!

I'm German and haven't used cash in years.

There are still a few people that use it exclusively, but they're getting rarer each year. You can pay with cash almost everywhere though, so I can understand how this believe keeps getting repeated

It‘s not about acceptance, but about the law. German law mandates every business to accept the legal tender which is Euro notes and coins.
