I agree that fax machines belong into the past, but cash? I'd like to be able to pay even if the internet/power goes down, thank you very much.
Of interest, today in Australian media:
Why cash has made an unexpected comeback in Australia: new study - https://theconversation.com/why-cash-has-made-an-unexpected-...
which includes figures that show while only 8% of Australian transactions are cash (by some metric, see article) 33% (a third) of the population fully supports keeping cash on.
In Germany in many places you can only pay with cash.
