In Slovenia it is illegal to use cash for [business] transactions bigger than 100 or so euro. I moved out soon after that happened for unrelated reasons, but I haven't heard anyone non-shady complain.

I haven't heard of any definitive results in driving down corruption and the grey market either though.

The fact that people don't understand the risks they're exposed to doesn't make those risks go away. And once the data is exploited it'll be too late.

The costs may be invisible. You aren't seeing the things people would be able to do but don't because they can't use cash.

Another inexplicable downvote. Thank you for the relevant input and the practical angle at the cash ban.
