Coinage is the single reason why I'm tipped over the edge to prefer card. I HATE dealing with change.

I wish there was a card that was closer to cash where the money is stored on the physical card not offsite but that seems like a nightmare in itself... Idk

That's what I mean when I say card generally. Doesn't really help using debit instead of credit. If anything it's worse because if you get your money stolen you bank doesn't give a damn, whereas they will send a swat team if you use a credit card.

But both identify you just the same afaik...

oh, so you would just want a card associated with a bank account that is anonymous?

I guess it could be nice, yea? I know of things like Monero and such but I never dove in.

We actually had that here for a while, called Chipknip. You could store money on it which you would need top off once it was spent. It disappeared when nfc debet cards became the standard though.
