> Why go to the hassle of carrying loose change when you can swipe a card to make a purchase within seconds?

- Because cash is anonymous, and card transaction violate my freedom.

- Because credit card companies charge 2-4%. And therefore raise the prices for everyone.

- Because only cash is legal tender.

> A further benefit for us is that it will give us peace of mind as there will be less concern over having money stolen.

I one steels my purse, I only lose the cash I have at hand. But if one steels my credit card, they can rob my complete bank account. Also credit cards are insecure by design, compared to EuroCheck cards. You do mot even to remember a 4 digit PIN to use them. The card number and expiration date is enough to rob me.
