To say nothing of the fees incurred by some banks for card transactions.

If you think about it, though, the only real form of cash is Gold. Everything else is just an IOU for that amount of Gold.

It's a cheque from the Government, and as a such, I suppose you have the right to refuse a cheque without a Bank Card - so why bother with the middle man?
