   Well, the gov't seems to be able to control the banks and reach     
   into people's bank accounts and do whatever they want right now     
   anyway.   
      
   They ARE suggesting that cash will still be legal tender     
   (primarily to support the unbanked, I presume), ..but as a     
   generation dies off and younger people embrace pure digital     
   transactions, they will have motive to discontinue printing     
   cash at any time thereafter.   
      
   I find that young people avoid cash if they can.
