It seems reasonable that the costs associated with the various payment methods can be passed on to the consumer that chooses that method.

It would seem reasonable if that could be applied consistently to all payment methods.

If I decide to use digital currency could I opt out of all the associated costs related to cash? Including printing it, shipping it, storing it, transporting it, counting it and other aspects that a digitized monetary transaction automatically handles?
