Even without the physical infrastructure it might be cheaper to use credit cards. How much cash is lost in loose change after small transactions every year? I'd bet more than 2%

Of cash used in every day transactions? Maybe.

Of cash used in bigger transactions that are replaced by credit cards? No way

This is actually a benefit because it subtly counteracts inflation.
