         <description><![CDATA[ That feeling of cold, hard cash in your pocket is doomed. Money, in the physical form that we know and love, is rapidly dying. In its place, credit and debit cards — and a host of newer technologies, such as smartphone-based payments and NFC transactions — are increasingly dominating our purchases. Javelin Strategy &amp; Research estimates that by 2017, only 23 percent of point-of-sale transactions will involve cash, down from 27 percent in 2011. More than half of consumers polled by British...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Futurists have long proclaimed the coming of a cashless society, where dollar bills and plastic cards are replaced by fingerprint and retina scanners smart enough to distinguish a living, breathing account holder from an identity thief.
What they probably didn't see coming was that one such technology would make its debut not in Silicon Valley or MIT but at a small state college in remote western South Dakota, 25 miles from Mount Rushmore.

         <description><![CDATA[
	A lot of people gave up carrying much cash a long time ago, since they knew “plastic” - a credit or debit card, or a store or public transit “smart card” - would be accepted just about everywhere.

	But to hear tech companies tell it, plastic cards will be museum pieces as well before long.
	​​
	It’s all because young people, in particular, love their mobile devices so much - and despise the time-wasting process of digging out a credit card, presenting it to a clerk or swiping it on a card...]]></description>

	VoA:&nbsp; s Hard Currency Becoming A Thing Of The Past? 

	Doug Bernard | Washington DC

	Daniel Suelo is a man who has figured out how to live without money. Making his home in a high cave near the desert outpost of Moab, Utah, Mr. Suelo lives, eats, sleeps, scavenges and does just about anything else he likes, all without any money. (Yes, he even blogs.) In the fall of 2000, Suelo says he took all the cash he had in the world (about $30)&nbsp; and left it in a phone booth. He’s been...]]></description>

	VancouverSun:&nbsp; On the cusp of the post-penny age, the Royal Canadian Mint is preparing to launch a digital alternative to all coinage and small bank notes — dubbed "MintChip" — which it hails as the natural next step in the "evolution of currency."

	The concept was quietly introduced on Wednesday when the Ottawa-based Crown corporation activated a website outlining its vision for the future of MintChip — described as "better than cash" and "so easy even a child can use it" — and invited...]]></description>

	EconomicCollapse:&nbsp; Most people think of a cashless society as something that is way off in the distant future.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that is simply not the case.&nbsp; The truth is that a cashless society is much closer than most people would ever dare to imagine.&nbsp; To a large degree, the transition to a cashless society is being done voluntarily.&nbsp; Today, only 7 percent of all transactions in the United States are done with cash, and most of those transactions involve very small...]]></description>

	CNN:&nbsp; This is the fourth time I've covered Mobile World Congress and every year I arrive expecting to be unimpressed, thinking "surely, this year there's nothing new left to show" and every year I leave realizing the pace of change is just accelerating.

	Telegraph:&nbsp; Research by Forrester, commissioned by PayPal, found that “2016 will be the year when UK shoppers will be able to use their mobile phones to pay for things on the high street with digital money rather than cash, cheques or cards”.
