I yesterday read an article that had two interesting factoids:

1) There is less than $800 billion in actual CASH (US dollars) out there in the world (I did not notice if they wrote that approx. 1/2 is outside the USA in $100s).

2) The average household has less than $300 in actual cash, long green.

***

So, if there is a "Bank Holiday", those without CASH are going to have problems paying for stuff. ATMs would be shut down for sure. Credit cards and checks? Hmm...

Got CA$H?

That does not shock me one bit. CC/Debit cards are too easy to use and a lot of people rely soley on them.
