The handling of cash is said to increase the chance of spreading covid-19. Some businesses in Australia has gone completely cashless since the pandemic starts and most are encouraging customers to use cashless payments. I know cash is King in Japan but I had no idea it is also the case in the USA.

Only takes a few seconds to sanitize your cash. If it seems important, why not try it?

Start lining up buildings with vending machines and stand up arcade games (that have the 2-4th player controller turned off.)
Allow them to accept all coins, including pennies.
And watch people spend like crazy. No human contact.

The shops in poorer areas can not afford to buy the technology for contactless payments, and the people in those areas are not eligible to hold such devices.
Seems like a sort of endless circle of despair.
