Re:Why Germans pay cash for almost everything by stinos on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @10:58AM (#14958434)
Not German and I don't think there was ever such hyperinflation here, but same reasons basically.

- fast enough

- no problems with failing electronic payments of all kinds

- more places where it works (electronic payment systems can indeed be an extra cost which matters for small businesses)

- cash doesn't break (cards do)

- still easier to transfer directly between people

- pretty private
