Since the turn of the century, the term "cashless society" has been thrown around quite a lot. With the continued use of credit, debit cards and the advent of cryptocurrencies; the idea has evolved into a coming reality. The United States is among a number of nations exploring a Central Bank Digital Currency while the BRICS nations are looking to supplant the dollar.
