Cash is seeing a comeback in America and Britain as people seek finer control of their finances in a challenging economic environment. Bloomberg recently explored the trend, and how banknotes and coins enable better money management.
A survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of personal finance company Credit Karma shows 53 percent of adults in the US and 46 percent in the UK are using more cash this year than they did last year. For comparison, 27 percent of US adults and 42 percent of Brits said they were not using more. Around three in five cash users in both countries believe using cash helps them spend less.
