Cash, check, or iPod?
Here's the latest RF-based cashless payment method. It's an iPod, of all things, equipped with a radio frequency transmitter.
Though Contactless News calls it "cool," any time you use a unique ID number to make a payment (whether it's through a credit card, an iPod, or a chip implant) you create a trail of your purchases -- and your whereabouts.
To me, nothing says "cool" like a handful of anonymous greenbacks.

Cash isn't totally anonymous unless you swap it with others. Have you considered organizing cash swap meets?
