Money can be sent and received using QR Codes. The QR code could be generated, printed out and sent to the recipient by post or online. Such systems do exist but have never caught on. However the latest Apple iPhone puts QR top bottom and centre so maybe things will change.

I'm guessing you are referring to the comment on another thread, Rollo.

If so, my comment, in response to another, referred (rather jokingly) to actual cash in your hand and not transfers which can be sent immediately or on a date of your choosing when you use phone banking which I prefer.

Nice one, Rollo

I guess that is referring to my joking comment on another thread, that wasthen commented on by Joy

I do know about sending cash by computer or by phone, and even do that regularly .............. I'm not totally incompetent, unaware or a dimwit, though you seem to think it.


FYI .............. we actually USE cash. Yes, real coins and bank notes A lot in our daily life, and especially when we are travelling.


I like to tip people who give me service ................ the maid in the hotel, the person who takes me in a wheelchair from check-in to boarding a train or plane, etc etc.

There are lots of occasions when people give service and cash is the only option, as against adding 10%/15%/20% to your debit or credit card.

I guess you don't tip unless you can use a debit or credit card, or send money by phone or from computer to computer.
