Have heard that even large-ish cash payments fetch you dirty looks, consultations with supervisors, telephone calls with managers, countings and re-countings, frustrated sighs from people behind you in the queue etc. The UK has this concept of chip-n-pin cards. I have been asked to prove my identity (passport) sometimes when I used my older, non-chip-n-pin card, approximately producing the above effects. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_and_Pin Binand
