In the US, cashless society would make the death penalty obsolete. All you would need to do is place a temporary indefinite hold on someone's bank account. The rest of the problem would sort itself out rather quickly.
I see banning cash as dismal, because state and corporate power over the individual is high as is, and blocking your bank accounts would grant them absolute power.
No cash, no paying for food, fuel, utilities, and so on. Sure, it would limit crime, but it would also limit dissent, due to chilling effects, and then there is no obstacle to tyranny.
