معنی
Paying with physical money.
زمینه فرهنگی
Sweden is one of the world's most cashless societies. Many shops and cafes do not accept cash at all. Always look for the sign 'Vi tar ej kontanter' (We do not take cash). In contrast to Sweden, Germany still values cash highly ('Bargeld lacht'). In many German restaurants, you *must* pay cash. Despite its high-tech image, Japan remains a cash-heavy culture. Many small shops and traditional inns (ryokans) only accept cash. While cards are common, cash is still widely used for tipping and in small 'mom-and-pop' stores, especially in big cities like New York.
Check for signs
In Sweden, always look for 'Kontantfri' signs before you queue up if you only have cash.
Buses and Trains
You can almost never pay cash on Swedish public transport. You need an app or a travel card.
