After Cash: All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses a Bank Account
Here in Switzerland:<p>— The largest cash note is 1000 Fr. (slightly more than $1000). It is readily accepted everywhere and I can pay for coffee with it and get change. (The coffee will be around $4, or $7 for vanilla latte in Starbucks).<p>— My ATM daily cash withdrawal limit is 75000 Fr. (not a typo). I dream of hitting it once, but I&#x27;m not that rich.<p>— I can go to the nearest bank and buy a physical gold bar, from 1g to 12 kg, for cash, no questions asked, no papers needed. And sell it later at the same place, with only a nominal fee taken (if still in original package).<p>And I like it this way. When I travel in any other country, it looks strange to me when even a 100€ bill is frowned upon and probably won&#x27;t be accepted.
