Just a heads up. I’ve seen more than a dozen restaurants and stores post that they are not currently accepting cash (because it’s dirty and contaminated).
So, bring your cards and wipes.

A side effect, the Fed Chair reports a coin shortage due to decreased circulation since Covid.

Thanks SCM! I wonder why there is no affect on the flow of paper money. That's where the coins come from.

If nobody’s using cash or coins, why do they need coins? The banks need to cut their order down by 80%; they don’t need a stock pile of coins. Heck a lot of laundromats accept debit cards anyway.

Cash is not required any more?
The good news is that those of us in metropolitan areas are happy to go cashless, so there should be plenty of coins remaining for those who still want to use them.

Just looked at SQR(?) shops. Cash is required. If the location does not accept cash, you may use your card and you must photograph the posted signs which state that the location does not accept cash.
