While the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the humble penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether. Though this may sound radical, it is a natural evolution in this digital society where a vast majority of transactions are already being conducted using credit or debit cards.

    If we change to electronic money we would change the world. It is safer alternative to carry cash. So i will take action by convincing people. Great way.

      Exactly the same is happening in Ecuador but it is obvious than in here all that they are doing is opening a door so that this goverment can steal more money and be more corrupt

          this is a really neat thing; i'm glad the U.S. is not banding pennies.

            Hi, I am just a 6th grader but I think you need at least a little paper money/coins. I am not from Sweden, but for people that don't have credit cards(like myself), what are we going to do? I collect coins from around the world! I have three Swedish Krona and I want to collect more! In my personal opinion, Sweden should not ban all money. I have a big collection because I am Italian, French, American, Indian, and part Nepali. I love to collect money from all these countries! Don't ban cash, Sweden!

              Sweden never said anything about BANNING paper money/coins. All they are doing is encouraging everyone to use cards and other electronic payments.

                Also, I collect coins, so they would be even harder to find if America decided on no cash. And what about everyone without a credit card (a.k.a. minorities like me)?
