Don't rely on paper cash being around for that much longer either - http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-23/norways-biggest-ban...
Street food vendor: no, he preferred a card.
Taxi driver: no, but he didn't want to take a card either, only a bank transfer from my phone. My account isn't set up for that yet, so he took the cash, then didn't have the 5kr change.
Supermarket, exact change for a single item: I delayed people behind me, the machine used to count coins didn't accept mine.
Café, for a single soft drink with exact change: I didn't ask, but the man dropped the exact change into the empty coin tray.
So the result is I still have most of the coins which a foreign friend left behind after visiting in December.
