minus-squaretechno_analyst@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 years agoEvery month or two I make the trek to the local bank to get some $1 coins for the laundry in our apartment complex. Aside from that, I use Apple Pay for nearly all in-person transactions, PayID for sending money to friends and family, and my credit card online.

I dig some up from the couch cushions, but then they had a card reader at the door anyway, so I needn’t have bothered.
