In my country (Switzerland), while they have massively invested in cashless solutions, a lot of places are still accepting cash, and I think it is a good thing. One of the big retailer (Coop) has self-checkout machines that accept and give back cash (you can insert 200CHF~216USD at a time if you want).

Jordan (head of SNB) is not going to let cash go and even kept the CHF 1000 bill under EU pressure. Thank God.

What urks me is the obvious "never let a crisis go to waste" where we have visa etc marketing that cash might spread Corona.

Yes, I've put CHF 200 in coop register before. Funny, they don't care but if I scan a tiny bottle of alcohol I need to wait for someone to approve it...
