This guide ranks 123 countries by the share of daily transactions completed with physical banknotes and coins, spotlighting where cash is still king, and where it’s becoming a relic. Now you know where still to bring cash when you travel. The poorest countries rely most on cash: Myanmar (98%), Ethiopia (95%), and Gambia (95%) top the list, reflecting limited banking infrastructure. Wealthy nations are nearly cashless: Sweden (14%), Norway (10%), and South Korea (10%) show how digital payment infrastructure correlates with economic development. The “middle-income trap”: countries like Mexico (80%), India (70%), and Thailand (65%) show that moderate economic development doesn’t automatically mean digital adoption.   submitted by   /u/Acrobatic_Solid6023 [link]   [comments]
