Imagining a world without cash
Life, James Hein, Published on 08/05/2024

Electronic cash can still be stolen and your ability to spend it can be taken by someone else if your details get into the wrong hands. However, it's convenient, just tap and go, or in some cases, just wave your smartphone over a pad.
