As for the strip club comment, it's a non-factor. In fact I think it would actually work out in the clubs favor. They'd just print their own funny money like they do in Europe, only good in the club.

This statement is partially correct.
Since we started zinc loading pennies, quarters, dimes (everything common EXCEPT the Nickel) the metal value has gone down.
I can see advantages to going to a paperless monetary world but EVERY store/vendor etc... would have to have the technology to accept a "Cash card" and guess what.... power goes out? can't sell anything...
coin money has its uses.. I do not carry a pocket full since its a pain, but I do try to carry some... the rest goes into a nice bit container.. when its full I take it to the bank and they buy it back at its face value..
and if we went to a paperless monetary system and you had to have a cash card, that means some where your info would be registered for buying a cash card, and no matter how many you chain off from there.. it can be in theory traced back to you.. Cash has no memory
