>implying they wouldn't call the cops because they think you're trying to pay with Monopoly money

Most stores by the Canuck border officially take CAD

i just give them 20s

>What the fuck is this plastic shit? You trying to rip me off?

Canada Bux look like plastic monopoly money

They used to be real

Why would you not want US dollars? While on Canada a relative of mine gave a tip of $30 bucks to the server. The server's chink eyes suddenly became normal

who's that lady?

>american money can be ripped or destroyed when it gets wet
OH NO NO NO NO

I'm going to be offended if you tell me you didn't accept it

Paper money gets very disgusting eventually

She's still our Queen

We stopped using cash almost a decade ago. The only thing you use cash for is drugs these days.

>see it when I go to do laundry
>take out tool and unjam it and take the quarters

Thanks

You seem upset, friend.

some fucking cunt

Based and redpilled. Any money that isn't the US dollar or the British Pound is fake money

I tried paying with Serbian money in Germany.
In my defense one of the Serbian coins looks exactly like the 50 cent euro, and I didn't notice

Mentioned.

No she's just the head of our state. It's a weird formality

I get that too, I work in a place that gets cruise boats and often get people trying to pay with American or Australian dollars. Some of them get really upset when you tell them you don't take foreign money.

Honestly the entire house of Windsor deserves to be exterminated. They don't do shit.
They are just the Kardashians with titles

Understandable mistake. New Zealand is a meme country and should be apart of Australia anyways

it's worth more than whatever kangabucks you use there

wat, care to explain?

Based Republican.

Why is that a problem? You all love american dollars. You can exchange them to your currency but if I were you I would keep the dollars as it is a very stable currency.

I'm not a republican. I like strong monarchies, I just hate useless ones.
Federal monarchism is the best system of government.

People use cards or their phone to pay for everything because there's now zero benefit to having cash.

What I don't think people on this thread get is that getting a foreign currency is annoying. In order to get it into usable money you have to take it to a currency exchange which is a hassle and probably a rip off.

I can understand for a large transaction American money would be good but for some small purchase like OP is probably talking about it's a waste of time.

How is declining money a hassle? All you have to do is say "We can't take that"

he says taking it to a currency exchange is a hassle, can you read?

All bank cards are contactless so you just tap them on the eftpos machine and it's all handled automatically, it takes like two seconds so nobody uses cash.

Not even Apu? At the gas stations? Here some of them only accept CC when you spend more than a certain minimum (like 10-15 bucks) since Visa charges them a flat amount per transaction, I think.

I found these coins in a bag in a cupboard when I moved into my house. $7.09 canadian. The bottom left are 5 polish Złotych , 100 Icelandic Krónur and 1 spanish euro cent. UK 2p at the top, not sure why that was in there

Shane you didn't get any of the better Canadian coins. We got rid of the penny years ago

>should be apart of Australia
>apart
I agree.

not sure what Apu is but basically some small independent shops have a $5 minimum but basically everywhere takes the 1 or 2% hit for you
getting cash out you feel like a druggo

They are supremacy principle.

Do you guys bowl underarm?

America is embracing chip insert technology. Swiping cards is still very common. Tap is still very rare there. Idk why they are so far behind.

>Tap is still very rare there
Really? That's surprising to me

Oh fug Albert Einstein was Canadian?

Because a threadbare card was not usable, the American complained to me.

yes his real name was Al Tremblaystein

They all take card. The worst you'll deal with is a $5 minimum, and not many places even do that.
And its not just credit cards that are contactless, it's normal bank cards too.

Every gas station in the USA take card retard
Disregard anything this guy said

I don't know why we are discussing America and Australia when we should be discussing Germany and the fact that literally nobody there uses cards.
Supermarkets and grocery stores take card, most restaurants don't (and if they do they have a minimum) and no doner places do.

What do you do with that card?
Swipe it?
Insert it?
Tap it near the machine for a second?

90% of the time insert.
Otherwise swipe if the place hasn't updated their system in a while, we don't have tap.

they have to swipe the magnetic strip like europeans did in the 1970s

have you been at every gas station in every state? disregard this dumbass. also i didn;t say they didnt take cards but there is a like a $10 minimum at some small stores

how do you know it is 90% not 80%? or 56%?

The vast majority of places are chip.
But I don't really like chip that much, it ends up taking longer than swipe did. I don't really know what the tap is, I've never used it. Whats better about it? Google says its "contactless". Does that mean it doesn't have a number on it? If so, how do you order stuff online?

It means your card doesn't have to make contact with anything. Just breifly tap it on or hold it over the machine (1 second or less) and the purchase is done. No swipe, no insert, no PIN necessary.

I've literally never seen that anywhere.
>have you been at every gas station in every state?
No, but I do have a big enough sample size to say you're wrong. Unless it varies a lot by region, but I doubt that.
>how do you know it is 90% not 80%? or 56%?
Rough estimate using the places I go to. I can only think of one place that I go to fairly regularly that uses chip.
Also my experience as a retailer indicates that around 95% of cards are chip.

Do you have that in Canada? What are you Japan or something? We will get that in 50 years

Google says Tap and go is most common in Southeast asia, Australia and Canada and somewhat the UK.

Surely it can't be that far away

C'mon even nz has paywave everywhere now.

I think the question is how much it will cost to implement and weather it will provide enough benefits to justify the investment. So basically why?

Theres no need for it, eventually everyone will pay using their phone

We have had it for a couple of years at least. I honestly don't remember the last time I saw swipe, it was years ago anyway. Most banks set a limit on tap (you can change it if you want but I never have), I'm with the Royal Bank and the default limit is like $150 I think, so I still have to insert for purchases over that amount.

I immensely underrated it at first. I thought saving 5-10 seconds of swiping and entering pin didn't matter at all but that tiny change is the main reason no one uses cash anymore. Switching to cashless society saves a fucktonne of money in the grand scheme of things and makes it easier for government to track transactions. There's huge benefit to it.

Honestly I don't know anyone that uses cash already. I know they do, I just don't really know who they are. Old people I guess

Do you also find it incredibly annoying on the rare occasion you do have to insert your card? Once you get used to tap going back is irritating.

You've never seen/heard about the minimum charge? It is up to the owner to set it and most gas stations are owned independently just like small shops. Some do have a minimum charge some don't.

>using cards for everything even though there's a transaction fee
Why are people so stupid?
