I don't know... my dad will find a way to give me cash instead putting it into my account.

I say that as if I'm like 15. No, I saw him on the weekend and he gave me birthday money, and the place we went to accepted card for the most part, I asked him "can I give this back to you and you can send me money" and he's like "nahh don't worry". Had to go to my local bank to deposit it.

Personally I like the novelty of a $100 note since I basically never seen them outside of a birthday.

FYI you can now deposit cash at the post office. You need to supply a bank card to identify the account, but there's no fees involved.

I noticed that last night when my sister picked up a birthday present. That's pretty cool tbh.

I still open every card with cash falling out.

That's about the only thing I use cash for these days myself. Birthday money. The money I tend to receive sits in my wallet until it's time for someone else's birthday. Then it goes in their cards.

I should mark it or something to see if I then get it back next birthday. :P
