All mute anyway i believe, but to say "Cash has become the mode of most transaction today, because cash is king." is nonsense! Cash is a figure of speech, not literal, i.e. to have liquid cash available.

Even with companies in which I have never previously dealt with, they send an application, they do a credit check, and you have an account.

In business i don't use cash (apart from few small exceptions), all by electronic transfer, both domestic and international, and for peronal use i barely use cash.

This debate has been exhausted with no sensible comments so will leave it at that!

Cheers, vaga
