Payment Trends: Cash Isn’t Going Anywhere Any Time Soon!

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

Many people in society today are under the perception that with credit and debit card use up, that cash use must be on the decline. This, however, could not be further from the truth. We are far from a “cashless” society.

These predictions have been around since the advent of the credit card in the 1950s. Yet, cash still continues to be king. Just take a look at the graphic below, depicting the time series of the nominal value of US currency in circulation for the past 25 years. The amount of cash in circulation has grown substantially over the past 25 years and most importantly, growing faster than inflation.

Although the typical cash transaction amount has grown smaller, the frequency of cash usage and the average amount of cash in use appears to be on the rise in the U.S.
