‘Draw Out Some Cash Day’ started as an online petition, protesting the declining use of cash in everyday transactions. Online demonstrators are calling on Australians to visit an ATM and withdraw some money, with the aim of plunging cash back into Australian society.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses stopped accepting cash as part of the effort to stop the spread.
"No, actually they definitely are going to struggle, because you know they hardly have much knowledge about those machines and they definitely need help. Somebody has to be with them to spend the money, if it's cash they can figure it out how to spend the money, but with the card, they're not sure whether they can use it or not in the store.
In a move sparked by circulating social media posts, many pro-cash citizens flocked to A-T-Ms ... cashing out notes in protest against Australia's shift to digital payments. Others, like Fay, say the switch to digital during the pandemic wasn't a concern, but says she does have reservations about the added surcharges in every transaction.
In fact, one quarter of Australians say they would experience a major inconvenience or genuine hardship if cash was hard to access or use.
