Why Does Cash Still Exist When Cards Are Everywhere?

Imagine you are playing with toy money. Even though you can tap a screen to show your toys, you still like holding the real plastic coins in your pocket. That is why cash exists!

Physical money feels real. When you give someone a dollar bill, you see it go from your hand to theirs. It is simple and easy to understand. No batteries needed, no Wi-Fi required.

Yes! When you use a card, the bank sees what you buy. With cash, nobody knows if you are buying candy or a toy. It keeps your secrets safe.

If the lights go out and computers stop working, we can still trade with coins. Cash is like a super reliable friend who is always there when things get messy.
