Pretty much this, at least for the medium term. EFT is way too unreliable to replace physical money completely, and cash doesn't need to be charged up or plugged in to work. I reckon it'll happen about the same time I get that flying car I've been hanging out for, they will need similar levels of reliability.

Ive solved the problem I have put an eftpos machine on the ctx so people can scan their cards and save me a walk lol
