    Coinage is the single reason why I’m tipped over the edge to prefer card. I HATE dealing with change.

    I wish there was a card that was closer to cash where the money is stored on the physical card not offsite but that seems like a nightmare in itself… Idk

      We actually had that here for a while, called Chipknip. You could store money on it which you would need top off once it was spent. It disappeared when nfc debet cards became the standard though.

        That’s what I mean when I say card generally. Doesn’t really help using debit instead of credit. If anything it’s worse because if you get your money stolen you bank doesn’t give a damn, whereas they will send a swat team if you use a credit card.

        But both identify you just the same afaik…
