> Is called cash :) It's accepted everywhere.

Surprisingly, it’s not!

A non-Swedish friend studying in Sweden recently told me of a situation (I forget the exact details) where she could not pay with cash. They only accepted payment via Swish[^1] (mobile payment system).

At the time she was with a Swedish friend which was the one to pay for both of them, with my friend paying her friend in cash.

Same in the Netherlands, more and more shops are electronic payment only. Cash is a cost and a risk to them.
