    You can use cash for everything below $3000, this limit is to prevent things corruption and whitewashing.
    Cash is legal tender, and can’t be refused as payment.
    It’s true we are very digitized in everything like communications with public systems like Tax etc. and also businesses like banks.
    Almost everything is done digitally. An we have a secure system for electronic mail, which is also used for signing papers.

    It is a requirement to have these systems, But there are exceptions, if you for some reason can’t use the digital services, you can be exempted.

    PS: It will still be possible to send letters after “Post Nord” stops the service. There are other companies that still have this service.
    But Post Nord is the old Monopoly company that was traditionally used for it exclusively.

    PPS: Personally I’d really like to get rid of the physical mailbox, I very rarely check it for mail, because in the 6 years we’ve been living here, I think We’ve gotten about 5 letters, 2 of which were for the previous owner!!

      Same here. My country is a lot more analog, so everything from bills to ads still gets delivered via mail regularly. But I would love to have a digital infrastructure for mail delivery. However the costs to make it secure and private seem too high, every attempt by the state to make progress on that gets shut down due to concerns and therefore lack of adoption. Additionally, with the rise of the right and looming threats to your privacy, like chat control, a lot of people have no trust whatsoever in the government

        We don’t even receive much digital mail either.
        Payments are automated, and includes invoice and receipt. Removing all mails that have to do with payments.
        Most is SMS and e-mail, because it’s good enough for most things.
        But where security is needed, like signing a bank loan, we have the system for that too.
