Syria Seeks Western and Gulf Partners for Banknote Printing

Syria’s new government has decided to move the printing of its national currency from Russia to the United Arab Emirates and Germany, signalling a strategic pivot towards Gulf states and the West. The decision comes after recent easing of European Union sanctions and a US announcement lifting certain restrictions, laying the groundwork for Syria’s economic recovery. According to Reuters, Syrian…

Currency

A currency[a] is a standardization of money in any form, in use or circulation as a medium of exchange, for example banknotes and coins. A more general definition is that a currency is a system of money in common use within a specific environment over time, especially for people in a nation state. Under this definition, the British Pound sterling (£), euros (€), Japanese yen (¥), and U.S. dollars (US$) are examples of (government-issued) fiat currencies. Currencies may act as stores of value and be traded between nations in foreign exchange markets, which determine the relative values of the different currencies. Currencies in this sense are either chosen by users or decreed by governments, and each type has limited boundaries of acceptance; i.e., legal tender laws may require a particular unit of account for payments to government agencies.

Other definitions of the term currency appear in the respective synonymous articles: banknote, coin, and money. This article uses the definition which focuses on the currency systems of countries.

One can classify currencies into three monetary systems: fiat money, commodity money, and representative money, depending on what guarantees a currency's value (the economy at large vs. the government's precious metal reserves). Some currencies function as legal tender in certain jurisdictions, or for specific purposes, such as payment to a government (taxes), or government agencies (fees, fines). Others simply get traded for their economic value.

The concept of a digital currency has arisen in recent years. Whether government-backed digital notes and coins (such as the digital renminbi in China, for example) will be successfully developed and implemented remains unknown. Digital currencies that are not issued by a government monetary authority, such as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, are different because their value is market-dependent and has no safety net. Various countries have expressed concern about the opportunities that cryptocurrencies create for illegal activities such as scams, ransomware (extortion), money laundering and terrorism. In 2014, the United States IRS advised that virtual currency is treated as property for federal income-tax purposes, and it provides examples of how long-standing tax principles applicable to transactions involving property apply to virtual currency.

Originally, currency was a form of receipt, representing grain stored in temple granaries in Sumer in ancient Mesopotamia and in Ancient Egypt.

In this first stage of currency, metals were used as symbols to represent value stored in the form of commodities. This formed the basis of trade in the Fertile Crescent for over 1500 years. However, the collapse of the Near Eastern trading system pointed to a flaw: in an era where there was no place that was safe to store value, the value of a circulating medium could only be as sound as the forces that defended that store. A trade could only reach as far as the credibility of that military. By the late Bronze Age, however, a series of treaties had established safe passage for merchants around the Eastern Mediterranean, spreading from Minoan Crete and Mycenae in the northwest to Elam and Bahrain in the southeast. It is not known what was used as a currency for these exchanges, but it is thought that oxhide-shaped ingots of copper, produced in Cyprus, may have functioned as a currency.

It is thought that the increase in piracy and raiding associated with the Bronze Age collapse, possibly produced by the Peoples of the Sea, brought the trading system of oxhide ingots to an end. It was only the recovery of Phoenician trade in the 10th and 9th centuries BC that led to a return to prosperity, and the appearance of real coinage, possibly first in Anatolia with Croesus of Lydia and subsequently with the Greeks and Persians. In Africa, many forms of value store have been used, including beads, ingots, ivory, various forms of weapons, livestock, the manilla currency, shell money, and ochre and other earth oxides. The manilla rings of West Africa were one of the currencies used from the 15th century onwards to sell slaves. African currency is still notable for its variety, and in many places, various forms of barter still apply.

The prevalence of metal coins possibly led to the metal itself being the store of value: first copper, then both silver and gold, and at one point also bronze. Today other non-precious metals are used for coins. Metals were mined, weighed, and stamped into coins. This was to assure the individual accepting the coin that he was getting a certain known weight of precious metal. Coins could be counterfeited, but the existence of standard coins also created a new unit of account, which helped lead to banking. Archimedes' principle provided the next link: coins could now be easily tested for their fine weight of the metal, and thus the value of a coin could be determined, even if it had been shaved, debased or otherwise tampered with (see Numismatics).

Most major economies using coinage had several tiers of coins of different values, made of copper, silver, and gold. Gold coins were the most valuable and were used for large purchases, payment of the military, and backing of state activities. Units of account were often defined as the value of a particular type of gold coin. Silver coins were used for midsized transactions, and sometimes also defined a unit of account, while coins of copper or silver, or some mixture of them (see debasement), might be used for everyday transactions. This system had been used in ancient India since the time of the Mahajanapadas. The exact ratios between the values of the three metals varied greatly between different eras and places; for example, the opening of silver mines in the Harz mountains of central Europe made silver relatively less valuable, as did the flood of New World silver after the Spanish conquests. However, the rarity of gold consistently made it more valuable than silver, and likewise silver was consistently worth more than copper.

In premodern China, the need for lending and for a medium of exchange that was less physically cumbersome than large numbers of copper coins led to the introduction of paper money, i.e. banknotes. Their introduction was a gradual process that lasted from the late Tang dynasty (618–907) into the Song dynasty (960–1279). It began as a means for merchants to exchange heavy coinage for receipts of deposit issued as promissory notes by wholesalers' shops. These notes were valid for temporary use in a small regional territory. In the 10th century, the Song dynasty government began to circulate these notes amongst the traders in its monopolized salt industry. The Song government granted several shops the right to issue banknotes, and in the early 12th century the government finally took over these shops to produce state-issued currency. Yet the banknotes issued were still only locally and temporarily valid: it was not until the mid 13th century that a standard and uniform government issue of paper money became an acceptable nationwide currency. The already widespread methods of woodblock printing and then Bi Sheng's movable type printing by the 11th century were the impetus for the mass production of paper money in premodern China.

2. Search “SSD chemical for sale by GCL” to buy ORIGINAL chemical for cleaning your DFX banknotes.

3. For your payment security, insist to pay with Credit card, PayPal or Bitcoin.

IV. Why is SSD chemical becoming common:

SSD chemical is becoming common because many people around the world now needs the solutions. Initially, say like 2 decades before now, SSD chemical was not that common as it seems to be today. Perhaps that is because the world was not yet as evil as it is now.

As we all know, that money creates chaos, and in Biblical context too, it says; “the love of money is the root to all evil”. In today 21st century, money has occupied the mind of everyone, causing the hunts for it. In this hunt, many people turn to make money the illegal way, and in the black market economy, to transport huge amount of money in cash, commonly known as “money laundering”, these cash needs to be defaced with security coating firms for easy transportation from one place to another.

The banknotes defacing process to remove the security coated layer on the money, is where the use of an SSD chemical solution is needed. And today this types of transactions is huge, and demanding more chemicals in the market, which causes the chemical to becoming common.

V. What is SSD chemical research:

In chemistry, precisely relative to SCDN, SSD chemical research is the study and discovery of solution chemical substances in various forms from liquid, powder, mercuric and solid states. The purpose of the SSD chemical research is to find out the appropriate solution for the cleaning of DFX banknotes.

VI. What is SSD chemical boiling point:

Generally, there is not yet any standard SSD chemical boiling point stated, chemically. However; According to a recent research by Dr. Oluf Zukulanious, an Azerbaijan SSD researcher; Assumes that the boiling point for SSD chemical solution is 1100% +- degrees.

SSD chemical boiling point will vary as the chemical production intentions varies, in terms of forms, cleaning requirement, DFX note type and the SSD firm chemical element used for coating.

VII. What is SSD chemical used for:

SSD chemical is a liquid, powder or solid substance, researched and produced in chemical laboratories that are used as a cleaning solution for the security coated defaced notes (SCDN) or commonly called the “DFX banknotes”.

In 2018, $22.49B was cleaned to original FIAT currencies using the SSD chemical, ranging from synthetic, automatic and universal solutions. GCL is a key source for detailed studies about SSD chemicals.

VIII. Is SSD solution chemical toxic:

Yes, SSD solution chemical is toxic. The SSD chemical is composed of 11 difference types of solutions chemical agents, where 4 of these chemicals are highly toxic. During the chemical preparation, composition and formulation process, if accidentally you inhale these chemicals properties, it is tantamount to cause death. Reasons why it is highly recommended by experts, to always wear PPE when dealing with chemicals such as SSD solution.

The 4 chemical elements found in the composition or chemical compound of SSD solution are categorized under “A Chemical Weapon”, as these chemical substances can cause human death or harm through its toxic properties. These four chemical properties type contribute to 88% of the explosive agents found in SSD solution.

IX. What is universal SSD solution chemical:

In DFX banknotes cleaning; The “universal SSD solution chemical” is a compound chemical type of the SSD solution A21 criteria, which has the tendency and reaction power to clean any type of security coated defaced banknote of conservative length from 50 years ago and above, irrespective of the DFX notes coating type, age, currency and denomination.

Under the universal SSD solution chemical compound, you can also find the organic and automatic chemical type in the same SSD solution A21 criteria. [SSD/2218]

X. How much is the SSD chemical:

The SSD chemical, a solution researched and produced to clean the DFX banknotes is cost $28,500 USD in the U.S and around $55,000 USD in the UAE, India and Oman.

According to Black Market News on Twitter, the GCL produces and supplies over 4,000,000 tons of SSD chemical solutions worldwide, which gives a rough CPT of up to $10.58T USD of DFX banknotes cleaned, as mentioned in a PR by Gemonog Chemical Laboratory.

XI. How to clean your DFX banknotes:

To clean your security coated defaced notes (SCDN), or DFX banknotes to clear and usable money, you will need three things. These are laboratory materials or solution requirements which you will need to complete a perfect cleaning process of your DFX money yourself.

1. The SSD liquid chemical.

2. HU2 activation powder.

3. MUMUT anti-virus spray.

With the above mentioned solution chemicals, you will need in addition a small stainless bowl of roughly 2,000 mL and wide mouth. Apply the MUMUT anti-virus spray on the note first, if your notes is aged more than 12 months, then the HU2 powder and place it inside the stainless bowl, blend or shake the SSD chemicals and pour it on the notes gently to avoid note damage, according to your instruction manual. Please follow all health & safety measures in your manual.

If it is an automatic SSD chemical, it will do the cleaning automatically, but if it is the normal chemical, you’ll need to do the cleaning manually with your hands, or better still use the laser machine for fast cleaning when having large amount of DFX banknotes in stock.

DFX Banknote 3494/W Glossary by GCL/230423

According to DFX banknote analysts, DFX banknote is a defaced paper bank note, bills that has been coated with anti-security ink to bypass border security control during cash trafficking (money laundering) process in the surface world. The $10.58T DFX Banknote TUNNEL MARKET is a dark and underground market where defaced money is been produced, transported, and traded, together with the use of SSD chemical substances to formulate the yin and yang of the dark world.

Below you will find some useful information about the DFX Banknote titled as Glossary for resourceful purposes only, researched and written by Dr. Scott Brian, reviewed by Dr. Gurash Chang and published under authority of GEMONOG CHEMICAL LABORATORY SARL.

1/ DFX banknote origin:

The DFX banknote originated in the 1500 BCE, in Europe, and later migrated in Africa and Asia in the 1900 CE. The idea of DFX banknote came into conception in the 18th CENTURY, just few years after the 'Atlantic Slave Trade' was abolished, in 1807, in order to enable outlaws the continuation of their buying and selling of humans, specifically from Africa through the United States, Britain, and France routes, during this time, some criminally minded individuals came up with the idea to use anti-security ink to cover the surface of a paper money so as to transport it as normal luggage in border security controls during their underground trading of humans as slaves, which when arrived at their point of destination, a special chemical substance type known as SSD chemical is required to recover or clean off' the coating security ink on the surface of the notes to pay the counter-slave trader (seller).

In today 21st Century, DFX banknotes are most commonly generated from business and political funds embezzlement, drug trafficking, and central bank negatives. The solitary reason for implementation of DFX banknote concept in the midst of all these underground money mafia operations is merely to ease the illegal transportation process of the money in cash, across borders security controls.

2/ DFX banknote coating:

The DFX banknote coating is the process of applying anti-security ink on a paper bank note in order to securely cover its surface. The coating of a banknote to turn it to its defaced or dfx form can be done in various methods such as manually or automatically and as well in different colors type such as black, green, red, pink, and white, etc.

3/ DFX banknote security:

DFX banknote security is tied to its NTA number. The security of a DFX banknote is very tide which led many holders or owners of this type of money to keep their consignment (safety box) for a very long time due to experiences in lack of note de-coating compatibility with its required correspondent chemical substance during recovery or cleaning. The DFX/NTA number must match with an SSD/CAS number to formulate a cleaning compatibility, without this compatibility, the note cannot be cleaned.

Reference terms extract;

- DFX means (Defaced Foreign Xurrencies)

- NTA means (Notes Test Analysis)

- SSD means (Security Sealed Defacing)

- CAS means (Chemical Analysis Scrutiny)

4/ DFX banknote advantage:

The DFX banknote advantage is that it can magically make you rich instantly if you're lucky enough to find the right security sealed defacing (SSD) chemical producers, suppliers, or technicians, to clean your DFX banknotes. According to 100,000+ buyers reviews; one of the advantages of DFX banknote holders to purchase the SSD chemical solutions from a reliable SSD/SCDN/DFX chemical producers such as the Gemonog Chemical Laboratory is that they get the most recently researched and highest quality chemical substances for the best cleaning practice, and results.

5/ DFX banknote disadvantage:

The DFX banknote disadvantage is a very worse experience than one could imagine. From its illegal nature to its conviction nature for both the DFX banknote owners and SSD chemical producers is tragic. Plus, if the DFX banknote owners fall into the hands of a fraudulent SCDN technician, they risk losing their entire life savings. Which is why the DFX banknote security was implemented by some DFX scientists and analysts such as the "DFX/NTA number and SSD/CAS number" matching and compatibility to guarantee cleaning successes rate prior to chemical purchase.

One of the major DFX banknote disadvantages in the underground TUNNEL MARKET from 2006 to 2018 was the high rate of SSD chemical scams to buyers, and billions of dollars lost in SSD chemical explosions, to producers – due to the high volume of C4H8 compound element in the chemical liquid substances. In 2021, GCL implemented a chemical verifications system known as ‘CAS number’ to help protect DFX banknote owners from scam when buying the SSD chemical solution substances, which has since then indicated to aid reduced the rates of SSD chemical solutions scams by 19.15%.

6/ DFX banknote transportation:

The transportation of DFX banknote is the process by which the safety box or consignment is discreetly moved from one point to another, it could possibly be from city-to-city or country-to-country depending on the decision of the parties involved. The transportation of DFX banknote has long begun since its inception in the 1500 CE and has equally served as a major means for illegally moving money in the operations of drugs trafficking, human trafficking, and cash trafficking.

Following the recent research data from Dr. Jiovani Apes, a U.S Criminology Researcher, in 2023; the top three underworld transportation of illegal activities includes;

- Drug trafficking

- Human trafficking

- Cash trafficking

These three underground economic activities were estimated to reach a market capitalization of roughly $3.76 Quadrillion, with Heroin, Sex, and Dfx covering about 70.44% of total estimated amount.

7/ DFX banknote cleaning:

The DFX banknote cleaning involve the process of using any type of SSD chemical solutions by applying the substances on the surface of a defaced note including the use of an HU2 powder to perfect the DFX banknote cleaning. Some owners who holds large amount of these DFX banknote may decide to use the LASER machine to automatically clean their defaced notes in a faster speed. A 3D/LASER automatic machine is capable of cleaning up to $240 million of DFX banknotes per day.

In simple terms; DFX banknote cleaning means to apply an SSD chemical substance on the surface of a defaced banknote in order to clean or remove the security coated ink on the defaced money to make it usable and acceptable again in economic circulations such as Exchanges, ATMs, and Banks.

8/ DFX banknote risk:

The DFX banknote risk is very high, considering the fact that just by being a holder of such type of bank note already makes you an offender of the law, secondly, its security sealed defacing (SSD) chemical is illegal as labeled by the Government authorities. Lastly, the worst part of the DFX banknote risk is the high rate of SSD chemical scams on the internet, since the chemical solutions are sold at a high cost rate with a liter costing average $28,500.00 USD in the United States, by the GCL.

However, with the recent implementation of SSD/CAS number verification system by the GEMONOG CHEMICAL LABORATORY SARL in 2021 has tremendously helped in reducing the high risk rate of chemical scams between sellers and buyers in the underground TUNNEL MARKET. Meaning, if any of the SSD/SCDN/DFX elements is non-verifiable, then it is likely to be scam, or fake. As a DFX banknote holder, to help reduce your risk of getting scammed when buying the SSD chemical, it is always recommended to emphasis and request for the chemical CAS number from the seller in order to verify the substance quality to be certain whether it is real, original, or fake, before payment.

9/ DFX banknote solution:

The DFX banknote solution is a substance or appliance that is used for the cleaning and recovery process of a security coated defaced note (SCDN). A DFX banknote solution includes but not limited to liquid, powder, solid chemical substances and appliances such as cleaning machine, temperature controlX, drying machine.

10/ DFX banknote analyst:

A DFX banknote analyst is a person who is specifically trained to become a professional in analyzing defaced bank notes in a laboratory using portable or stationary SCDN machine appliances such as the 'Kern OBN 209 Compound Microscope Analysers, 4X Magnification'. The success of a DFX banknote cleaning project lies in the hands of a DFX banknote analyst, because he is the one responsible to research, analyze and provides a cleaning prescription stating the method, strategy, substance, or appliance that is required to be used by a SCDN technician for a successful DFX banknote cleaning process at its end result. Falling in the hands of a scam or fraudulent DFX banknote analyst will be your worst nightmare.

11/ DFX banknote technician:

A DFX banknote technician is someone who is professionally trained with the physical manifestation experience for using the SSD chemical substances to clean a DFX banknote on the field. A DFX banknote technician is commonly referred to as a 'SCDN technician', who's knowledge is limited in following the strict instructions outlined in a DFX laboratory test result prescribed by a certified DFX banknote analyst. Some DFX banknote technicians or SCDN technicians also have the experience and knowledge in operating a LASER automatic machine, an alternative method in cleaning the DFX banknotes, faster, than the SSD chemical.

12/ DFX banknote laboratory:

A DFX banknote laboratory is an organized layout space with laboratory equipment’s where DFX banknotes are researched, analyzed, and cleaned, by the use of chemical substances or machinery appliances. DFX banknote laboratories are usually owned by top secret cooperation’s, agents, established and operated underground, for keeping out of sight and reach or discovery of the Government since the entire operation is illegal, and subject to criminal law. The FBI hunts DFX banknote laboratories online using special tools such as Google Map and Google Earth.

13/ DFX banknote researcher:

A DFX banknote researcher in an individual whose primary assignment and focus is designated to research the basic data and information of a security coated defaced note (SCDN). DFX banknote researchers seemingly work hand-in-hand with DFX banknote analysts. This is because a DFX banknote researcher focuses are to research and identify the basic information of an anti-breeze bank note and passes these data to a DFX banknote analyst who then analyzes the researched data to provide a cleaning prescription to the DFX banknote owner, including methods, strategies, substances and appliances needed for a successful cleaning, to be implemented by a SCDN technician in the field.

14/ DFX banknote chemical:

A DFX banknote chemical is a liquid, powder, or solid form type laboratory researched substance that is used to clean defaced bank notes. Most common types of DFX banknote chemicals include SSD, HU2, UNICO, MUMUT, and XTROL. DFX banknote chemical such as SSD is the most popular of all the solution substances, due to its key compounds and elements in effectively cleaning the anti-breeze bank notes among other solutions, and also the most expensive.

15/ DFX banknote machine:

The DFX banknote machine is a Stainless Steel or Alloy Steel built structure with programmable mechanism commonly known as a 'LASER machine' that is used to clean defaced bank notes automatically and fast, operated by a professional LASER machine operator, or an experienced SCDN technician. There are difference types and grades of LASER machines with each type having a specific operating speed in cleaning DFX notes, which are 1D, 2D, and 3D laser machines. The 3D/LASER machine is currently the fastest with an estimated automatic cleaning speed capacity of up to $10.55 million per hour, and a horsepower-X output of about 7,390hp. All LASER machines primarily require a GAS cylinder injection to function, and a 240V power supply.

Germany and China are the two known countries for manufacturing LASER machines which are used for the cleaning of DFX banknotes worldwide. In 2016, a DFX banknote cleaning automatic machine was sold at $4.13 million per unit, in Turkey, today, it is recorded the most expensive LASER machine in the SSD/SCDN/DFX industry history, since 1500.

16/ DFX banknote storage:

The DFX banknote storage is a prescribed method and time period required to store a defaced bank note, before or during cleaning process of the DFX banknote. The most common method of storing a DFX banknote is in a dark, room temperature, however, if a DFX banknote storage is done in a stationary space, on the land, this will require the DFX banknote holder to sequentially apply the MUMUT anti-virus spray protective chemical to prevent the defaced notes from getting contaminated or infected with DFX fungi virus, prior to cleaning. DFX banknote storage in transportation process from point A to point B, primarily requires a secure codedX safety box, and secondarily wrapped and placed in a travelling bag or box which enables the easy movement of this security coated defaced notes (SCDN) in public, safely.

But, for SSD chemical storage during transportation, in land, sea, or air space, requires a temperature controlX (or a commonly known as an incubator) to regulate the appropriate temperature required for an SSD chemical substance to remain activated for use, within the period of transportation process, to prevent chemical explosion or chemical coagulation of a solution substance.

17/ DFX banknote analysis:

A DFX banknote analysis is the process of analyzing a security coated defaced note (SCDN) by a professional and certified DFX banknote analyst using the research result data provided by a DFX banknote researcher. After a DFX banknote analysis, a DFX certified analyst then prescribe a recommended cleaning procedure including substances and equipment’s needed. 98% of successful DFX banknotes cleaning project follows a typically recovery order such as that enumerated by Dr. Syan Lynn; DFX research, DFX analysis, and DFX cleaning. A DFX laboratory test is the first step a DFX banknote holder needs to begin with, in order to start the cleaning process of their consignment.

18/ DFX banknote prescription:

A DFX banknote prescription is a piece of paper written by a DFX banknote analyst to provide instructions for the type of chemical substance or machinery appliance required for an effective cleaning process of a DFX banknote, which are followed accordingly by a DFX consignment holder or a SCDN technician for cleaning.

A wrong DFX banknote prescription will lead to an unsuccessful DFX banknote cleaning process, which are most likely to be provided by fake, scam, or fraudulent DFX banknote analysts. To identify a real and trusted DFX banknote analyst, it is always recommended to request the CTC number of an individual to verify their reliability, professionalism, and experience in the defaced foreign xurrencies (DFX) field.

The DFX/NTA number serves as a verification to a consignment holder to prove that a said DFX laboratory test analysis result associated to a specific consignment conducted by the GCL is true and real, before they can proceed to buy chemical or hire a technician for their cleaning process to guarantee a successful end result.

Meanwhile, to a DFX banknote buyer, the DFX/NTA number serves as a verification to prove that the said DFX banknote which they want to buy from the seller is still in a good condition, before they can proceed to pay for the consignment to guarantee that they would be able to clean the DFX banknotes after purchase of consignment. Any DFX laboratory result without a verifiable NTA number is likely to be scam, fake, or fraud. All GCL/DFX laboratory conducted test analysis comes with a verifiable NTA number, researched by professionals and analyzed by certified experts in the SSD/SCDN/DFX industry.

What Is Currency Chest? Boost Your Cash Security & Liquidity

Currency chests are an integral part of a nation’s banking infrastructure and hold a significant role in managing the flow and availability of banknotes within the economy. 

What Are Currency Chests?

Currency chests are vault-like facilities operated by various banks but overseen and regulated by a central bank, such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These vaults store banknotes and coins in active circulation within the country’s financial system. The main purpose of this place is to ensure an adequate supply of currency for day-to-day banking operations, meeting the demand for cash by the public and business sectors.

The central bank allocates money to these bank currency chests based on different regions’ requirements, which helps manage liquidity effectively and efficiently. Additionally, central banks can reduce the time and cost of transporting cash from central locations to regional banks by decentralizing the storage and distribution of currency.

Functions of Currency Chests

Storage of Currency The primary function of it is to store banknotes and coins. This secure cash storage is not just about keeping the money but involves managing the currency in terms of its quality and fitness for circulation. Old and worn-out currency is regularly discarded from circulation, and new currency is added through these chests.

Facilitating Currency Circulation They help distribute and redistribute currency across banks and regions. They act as control points where currency will be keep until needed, particularly in high withdrawal demands like festivals or emergencies.

Buffer for Currency Demand They protect fluctuating currency demand. By storing large quantities of cash, they can manage abrupt increases in currency requirements without needing immediate replenishment from the central bank.

Ensuring Economic Stability They ensure the cash in the system is adequate to support commercial transactions, which is important for a country’s overall economic activity.

Supporting Monetary Policy They are necessary for the central bank to implement its monetary policy. Furthermore, by controlling the distribution of currency, the central bank can influence liquidity levels in the market, which subsequently affects interest rates and inflation. Therefore, this influence is essential for maintaining economic balance.

Disaster Recovery They provide a ready reserve of cash to support recovery efforts and the immediate financial needs of affected regions in cases of natural disasters or other emergencies. Therefore, this resource is necessary for ensuring rapid and effective assistance in times of need.

Zimbabwe has officially introduced the world's newest currency, the ZiG, in a bold move to tackle its ongoing money crisis. This innovative step marks the country's latest attempt to stabilize its economy and provide a reliable monetary solution for its citizens. The introduction of the ZiG aims to address the challenges faced by the nation's financial system and encourage economic growth and stability. With this new currency, Zimbabwe hopes to turn a new leaf in its economic recovery efforts, capturing the attention of both local and international observers.

This development comes after various efforts by the government to combat the persistent currency crisis that has plagued the southern African nation for years. The introduction of the ZiG, fully backed by the country's gold reserves, marks a bold attempt to restore economic stability and confidence among its citizens. Initially launched electronically in early April, the ZiG is now available for use in both banknotes and coins, giving people a tangible sense of this new monetary direction. Despite being rich in resources, Zimbabwe has faced daunting economic challenges, leading to severe currency depreciation and mistrust among the populace. Previous strategies, including the release of gold coins and the exploration of digital currency options, have failed to curb the inflation and economic downturn. The introduction of the ZiG is critical, as Zimbabwe has navigated through several currencies since the Zimbabwe dollar's collapse in 2009, triggered by hyperinflation that reached a staggering 5 billion percent. This hyperinflation episode is etched in the memories of many, recalling times when absurd amounts of money were required for basic purchases, making the U.S. dollar a more stable and preferred option. However, the journey to adopting the ZiG has not been smooth. Reports highlight a visible mistrust toward the new currency, with some government departments even refusing to accept it, and businesses caught in a tug-of-war over currency acceptance policies. Amidst this, the U.S. dollar continues to hold a firm grip on the economy, being the go-to currency for many Zimbabweans for transactions ranging from rent payments to grocery shopping. Economic experts and local voices express mixed feelings about the new currency's potential. While some, like economics professor Gift Mugano, critique the government's handling of the currency launch, others remain hopeful yet cautious, reflecting on past economic upheavals that left savings and pensions worthless. The vivid memory of carrying bags full of worthless banknotes is a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls ahead. Despite the skepticism, authorities are optimistic, believing that the gold-backed ZiG will pave the way for economic revival and national pride. President Emmerson Mnangagwa even emphasized the currency's importance for Zimbabwe's national identity and dignity.

As the country navigates this latest attempt at economic reform, the eyes of the world, and more importantly, the Zimbabwean people, are keenly observing, hoping for a future where the currency in their wallets holds steady value both at home and abroad. In these crucial times, the success of the ZiG could mean a significant turnaround for Zimbabwe's economy, but it will require widespread acceptance and trust from its citizens and the international community. Only time will tell if this new currency will break the cycle of economic challenges or if the shadow of past failures will loom large over its potential. Win Up To 93% Of Your Trades With The World's #1 Most Profitable Trading Indicators [ad_2] Sure! Here are five frequently asked questions about Zimbabwe's ZiG, the world's newest currency meant to address the country's money crisis: 1. What is the ZiG currency in Zimbabwe? The ZiG currency is Zimbabwe's latest attempt to stabilize its economy by introducing a new digital currency. It's part of efforts to resolve the ongoing money crisis in the country. 2. How can people use the ZiG currency? People can use ZiG for various transactions, just like any other currency. It's designed to be digital, so you'll need a smartphone or computer to manage and spend it. 3. Why did Zimbabwe introduce the ZiG currency? Zimbabwe introduced the ZiG currency to tackle hyperinflation and restore trust in the national currency. It's an effort to move away from the instability of traditional money and foreign currencies. 4. Are there any benefits to using the ZiG over other types of money? Yes, one of the main benefits is its convenience and potential to stabilize the economy. Being digital, it also reduces the need for physical cash, which has been scarce in Zimbabwe. 5. Will the ZiG currency replace the Zimbabwean dollar? No, the ZiG is not meant to replace the Zimbabwean dollar but to complement it. It's part of a broader strategy to stabilize the national economy and offer a more secure and reliable form of money.

All Might's New Pain Management Plan

Toshinori was having a splendid day.

What an incredible difference a slight change to one’s routine medication could make to his day-to-day life! He really was a fool for having postponed a revision for so long. The constant fear of undue side effects and unexpected flare-ups interfering with his job had made him procrastinate for months, years even, until he’d finally found no more excuses. He’d waited until he’d moved to Musutafu, so that he could see Recovery Girl in a jiffy in case the new treatment needed further adjusting, and he’d decided to start the new regimen on a free day, so that there would be zero chances of it impairing his performance on the field.

He really needn’t have worried. Some tweaking with the dosage of the existing therapy, plus the addition of some medical cannabis, had done literal wonders. He hadn’t felt so utterly pain-free and simply good in… hell, he couldn’t even remember how long.

So good that, in fact, by 11 AM he’d come to the conclusion that it would be a waste to while away this uniquely invigorating day vegetating at home, and he’d elected to go to work anyway. And worked he had, with nary a complaint from his cursed side, for three hours straight- even more than that, since journalists had been extremely eager to titillate him with cheeky questions that day, and he’d been more than ready to entertain them. 

And after his civic duty was carried out, leaving him somewhat winded but still pleasantly, uh, painkilled, how to employ the rest of his day, he’d wondered?

Soda, he’d decided. Buying soda would be a worthy pursuit for the next half an hour of his exceedingly agreeable Thursday. Why, one might ask, would a man strictly incapable of ingesting highly sugary foods bother acquiring two bottles of soda from the nearest convenience store? Not to drink it himself, obviously, but to keep it in a kitchen cabinet as an offering for guests. And why, one might inquire further, would a man with an off-the-clock social life as varied and vibrant as a sea cucumber’s feel the need to prepare for hypothetical guests? Because he’d just moved, obviously, and he felt the need to be ready to welcome any potential neighbors willing to venture a housewarming visit. Just because making friends would constitute, in itself, a dreadful risk to the security of highly classified information regarding the Symbol of Peace, that didn’t mean that Toshinori ought to pass as utterly uncivilized and brutish to the eyes of the occasional visitor. After spending roughly forty minutes innerly debating on the merits and demerits of the many types of food and drinks he could have stocked up on, he’d reached the conclusion that soda was the best choice, following a very complex reasoning that he couldn’t quite recall at the moment, but whose validity he was firmly convinced of. Hence his current endeavor.

But the universe had other plans for him. He hadn’t taken two steps out of the shop, in fact, before he laid eyes on yet another villain. Green, slimy, slippery, and leaving a revealing trail of sticky banknotes in his wake. When you say ‘dirty money’... Heh. 

Struck by inspiration, Toshinori transformed, then and there. He wouldn’t have dared, on any other day, not in the middle of the street, in full daylight. But that day wasn’t just any other day. That day was a Very Good Day, one of those fortuitous days when the stars simply aligned in the right way, and he knew. He knew that neither the owner nor any of the clients inside the convenience store were looking outside at that exact moment, despite the very audible ruckus caused by the villain’s passage. He knew that none of the bystanders would notice the puffs of steam liberally flowing out of his pores, or conveniently have him in their field of view as he shifted. He knew that even the unfaltering cameras framing the threshold of the store would be willing to make an exception this one time and forget a few frames, so as not to steal his thunder. The universe would give him a free pass from the usual plethora of precautions today, he just knew.

“There is an end.” He stated dramatically, with the perfect timing and the shit-eating grin of Japan’s Number One Deus Ex Machina. “Because I am here!”

As it turned out, astral alignments or not, sewers were a lot harder to navigate than sunbathed streets. It didn't matter though. Toshinori’s finely-honed instincts drove him exactly to the right spot, to the one manhole he was sure the villain had just escaped from.

“I AM HERE!” He proclaimed, punching the cover open and emerging from the ground, his voice booming and proud to strike fear in the heart of the cowardly criminal.

The metal cover hit the asphalt and clanked loudly, barely missing the head of one of the flabbergasted construction workers busy with repaving an inconspicuous road of Musutafu’s suburbs.

There was no trace of slime or villains anywhere in sight.

Ah, well, a small oversight could happen to anyone.

He flashed a thumbs up to the startled group of workers, reminding them of how deeply appreciated their hard labor was before he vanished underground.

“I AM HERE!” He proclaimed the second time, bursting from the ground and startling a bunch of primary schoolers playing football in a public park. He flashed them a thumbs up, reminding them of the importance of playing fair and safe before he vanished underground.

“I AM HERE!” He proclaimed the third time, bursting from the ground and startling a couple busy canoodling on a secluded bench in that same park, supposedly away from prying and impressionable young eyes. He flashed them a thumbs up, reminding them of the importance of using protection before he vanished underground.

“I AM HERE!” He proclaimed the fourth time, bursting from the ground and startling - oh would you look at that, the slime villain. Caught red-handed as he was trying to, uh… force his way into an adolescent? And where had his trousers gone? Goodness.

The questionable situation was settled with a swift Texas Smash, whose overpowering, nigh-weather-changing wind pressure surely contributed only minimally to the kid’s loss of consciousness upon being freed. It also sent the villain’s gooey body splattering on a good 80% of the surface of the whole underpass. Not Toshinori’s cleanest (heh) intervention, but a successful one nonetheless.

After ascertaining that the boy probably only needed a short nap to spontaneously get back on his feet, Toshinori set out to properly apprehend the criminal. The soda had to be sacrificed to provide a temporary plastic containment (he would purchase replacements at the earliest convenience). The goop was thick and tacky enough to be scooped up with bare hands, which was both very practical and very disgusting. He collected it and peeled it off the walls slowly, dollop by dollop. It turned out to be a surprisingly relaxing activity, meditative even. Like sharpening an old knife, or playing solitaire, or neatly trimming a bonsai’s tiny branches leaf by leaf. Not that Toshinori had ever actually done any of those things himself, but he bet that was exactly what they felt like.

As he screwed the tap of the second bottle (who knew that you could fit a mass of muck as big as a whole human being into a couple of two-liter bottles? The things one learned on this job!), Toshinori took notice of a battered, dirty, sad-looking notebook lying on the ground. It would have been legitimate to assume it was nothing but trash, but something told Toshinori that it probably belonged to the boy he just rescued. A sense of kinship, perhaps, with the battered, dirty, sad-looking boy in question.

Toshinori picked it up and flipped through it. There were words in it. An ungodly amount of tiny, cramped words that for some reason blurred and superimposed naughtily before Toshinori’s eyes, making it impossible for him to read them no matter how hard he squinted. He clearly saw the pictures though, pictures and newspaper cuts of esteemed colleagues on every other page. Aw, the kid must be a hero fanboy, wasn’t that adorable? This called for a little treat.

Unfortunately Toshinori was not carrying any writing implements on his person, but fortunately the young student certainly was. Toshinori rolled the kid on one side so that he could access his backpack, rummaged through it (surely the young man wouldn’t mind), accidentally caught a glimpse of the boy’s name on one of his school texts (surely the young man wouldn’t mind), and finally got ahold of a black marker. After a few minutes of careful artistic deliberations, Toshinori boldly inscribed an angular signature and a cheery doodle right in the central pages of the notebook, the place of honor. Then, satisfied, he put them both into the boy’s- no. He put the marker back into the backpack, neatly rolled the child onto his back again, then dropped the notebook on the ground exactly where he found it. It would make for a much more unexpected surprise that way, oh yes it would.

Everything had been taken care of. Except the victim, who hadn’t come to his senses yet, an issue that Toshinori decided to solve by administering a little helping of Gran Torino-style first aid, in the form of a rapid fire of therapeutic slaps to the cheek. With much less oomph than his mentor would have handed them himself, obviously, because Toshinori thought the kid had already courted concussion enough for the day.

“Thank goodness! You’re okay, excellent!” Toshinori boomed, positively jubilant. It was always so deeply gratifying to witness the relief and gratitude on the face of his- ah, no. The kid was screaming. Screaming and scrambling away from him in shock. Ah, well. Near-death experiences did that to people sometimes. Good to see his survival instincts were still in working order, at least!

“Apologies for getting you caught up with my villain hunt!” The boy’s disjointed babbling and shaking made it clear that he needed another minute or two to regain all his higher brain functions, so Toshinori happily took it upon himself to carry on the conversation. “I don’t usually make mistakes like these, but what can you do? I must have gotten distracted by the sights of this new city! The sewage, the drains, the pipes… Oh, and the rats! So feisty! Just lovely!”

The boy kept gawking at him, his expression shifting quickly from bewilderment to perplexity to confusion. Not much of an emotional variety, admittedly, but Toshinori could track those changes minutely. “Anyway, your assistance has been invaluable, young man!“

“M-My assistance…?” Were the kid’s first humanly intelligible words. Ah, one more minute and he’d manage a whole, full sentence, wonderful!

“Indeed! Thank you very much for stopping the villain in his tracks until I could catch up with him! Much obliged!”

“U-Uh… It’s not like I… I didn’t really do that, he just jumped at me…” The boy fidgeted with his hands. “I think I was about to… get killed…”

“Yes! Wonderfully done!” Toshinori gave him a well-deserved thumbs up. If only all victims on the verge of being killed were so proficient at not, ultimately, being killed, how much simpler a hero’s job would be! “Now, I must bring this rascal to the police. Be safe on your way home and see you on the other side of the screen!”

“W-Wait! Already? I- Can I have a…” The kid flinched and looked around frantically, and then- Hah! He reached for the notebook and oh, oh, his reaction was just priceless! More screaming and flailing around, just precious! Toshinori couldn’t hold back a long, heartfelt laugh that nearly sent him into a coughing fit, and that for some reason drew more confused glances from the kid. He must still be feeling a tad disoriented from the accident, poor thing. “U-Uh, thank you! I’ll treasure this forever, but, uhm… Can I ask you a que-”

“I’m sorry, I really must be on my way now. A pro battles not only enemies, but also time.” Ah, such a quotable answer. He could come up with some really remarkable one-liners when inspiration struck him, bless his talent for improvisation. 

“Wait, I really-”

A little stretch, one last greeting, and off he went with a powerful leap into the high, deep blue sky… But something was wrong. Toshinori’s keen senses informed him that not all was as it should be, his usually carefully balanced and elegant movements now impeded by something weighing his left side down, something like-

“Hey, hey, hey, HEY!” Toshinori protested as he gently but firmly tried to dislodge the child-shaped limpet hell bent on melding with his leg. “Personal space, young man! Let go!”

“I CAN’T!” The creature (it looked less and less like a child now that the wind seemed about to peel layers of flesh off his skull, dear God, that was going to give Toshinori nightmares) lamented. “If I- let go now- I’ll DIE!”

“...Oh. Oh, that’s right.” Hm, that was an astute observation. One should never underestimate gravity. The kid had some brains on him, didn’t he? It must have to do with all those words in that notebook of his.

Well, there was nothing for it, an extra stop was in order - and advisable too, probably, considering the sudden metallic taste in Toshinori’s mouth. Hmm, that was slightly concerning. Maybe he should have powered down while spending all that time scraping sludge off concrete. A bit of a silly oversight, that one. Ah well, he still felt pretty damn good, surely he could last a little longer.

He landed on the rooftop of a random building to unload his stowaway, who was once again trembling like a newborn foal, and motioned to leave, when a sudden bout of dizziness overtook him. Oh. Oh, he was losing steam. Metaphorically and literally (heh). He wasn’t going to last a little longer. He was-

He was wincing at the umpteenth ear-piercing screech the human fire alarm named Izuku Midoriya let out upon seeing his true form.

…Aahh, that was unfortunate.

“WHAT?” The kid gasped, thrashing around like a headless chicken. “Why do you look like- A-Are you a fake? What-”

“A fake?” Toshinori couldn’t repress a spark of irritation. Really, now? He’d just kicked villainous ass right before the boy’s eyes and accidentally let him hitch a ride on his leg halfway across the city, and he had the gall to call him a fake?! What kind of fake could do all that? “I’m All Mfgfh” Ah pity, that declaration would have been so much more impactful without the uncontrolled gush of blood.

“B-But how?!”

Hmmm, well, how to explain that in a simple, easy-to-grasp manner? Toshinori took a second, several seconds, a minute to ponder that question, sitting down to get some needed rest and raising his gaze upwards in search of inspiration.

“Uhm, are you okay? Did you-”

“You know those guys at the pool who are always flexing to look more imposing?” Toshinori offered, inspired by the sky, which was blue, like water, which was at the pool, and by the clouds, which were- okay no, the clouds weren’t contributing one bit. “It’s kind of like that.”

“Flexing?” Midoriya asked, inexplicably more confused by the comparison. “But… flexing doesn’t- You’re smaller! Like, physically smaller!”

“Yeah. That’s why I flex. To look bigger.”

“But… It doesn’t work that way! You can’t possibly- Doesn’t All Might weigh 274 kilos?”

“255.”

“Wh- No, I’m sure it was reported he weighs 274 in the latest issue of… Where did you read that number?”

“My scale.” Toshinori elaborated patiently. For some reason that information stumped Midoriya even more.

“All right, never mind that, but- you can’t weigh that much, surely! I mean you as you are now, all… skinny. Do you?”

“No.”

“See?!” The kid gestured widely, looking more out of sorts by the second. “You can’t be the same person! You can’t increase your weight just by flexing! Flexing doesn’t add muscles to a person out of nowhere!”

“Not with that attitude!” Toshinori exclaimed, pointing his finger triumphantly at the kid. Damn, it felt good to win an argument. For all his stubbornness, Midoriya recognized his intellectual loss as well, since he didn’t object further, and instead simply stared at Toshinori in utter dismay.

…All right, enough philosophizing about conservation of mass. They had a situation here. Toshinori sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, that’s not important. I need you to keep quiet about this, all right? This is a big secret. Huge. Humongous. For obvious reasons. So I need to know for sure you won’t go shouting it from… rooftops.” Like the one they were standing on. Heh.

“But-”

“No buts! You can’t chat about it with your friends! You can’t tell your parents about it - only that though. Do talk with your parents about… issues and stuff, just not this.” Toshinori quickly amended. Preserving classified secrets wasn’t good enough of a reason to accidentally aggravate intergenerational conflict and misunderstandings. Implying that would be most unheroic. “Don’t spread rumors on the internet - especially don’t spread rumors on the internet. And don’t write about it in your thing either.”

“My thing?”

“Your thing. The… the paper thing with… all the words…” Toshinori squeezed his eyes shut and snapped his fingers repeatedly in annoyance, trying to recall the mischievous word eluding him for no reason other than mocking him- “Notebook! Don’t write anything in your notebook. Actually, just forget about all this entirely. As a service to this country, okay?”

Midoriya stared at him silently, evidently at a loss, before dropping his gaze to the floor and contemplating it as if he both wished and feared it would suddenly swallow him whole. 

“...Is… Is this for real? Are you really All Might?” He asked faintly, clearly hoping against all hope for some sort of candid camera-like bluff to be revealed.

“Yep. In the flesh.” Toshinori grinned. “All 70 kilos of it.”

The kid really didn’t have the best reaction times to unforeseen discoveries. It took him a good minute longer of nervous hand-wringing and gulping before he finally nodded, still avoiding Toshinori’s gaze entirely. “O-Okay. I won’t tell anyone. I promise.”

“Hm. Good. Thanks.” Well, that settled it. It could have gone worse. Now, what was Toshinori doing before this whole thing…? He could swear he was in a hurry, but the exact cause of that escaped him at the moment. Oh well, it would come back to him. In the meantime, he could catch some more breath on this pleasantly breezy rooftop… 

And, uh, maybe try to lift Midoriya’s spirits a little bit? He looked… very disheartened, didn’t he? That was a sad sight. And damn if that didn’t reinforce how important it was for Toshinori to keep his emaciated form well concealed. Imagine that level of utter dejection applied to all the citizens of Japan. God forbid. “Uhm. You were saying something?”

“Eh?” The kid finally raised his gaze, taken aback.

“Before I…” Toshinori made a poof sound with his mouth, and completed the concept with a fitting poofing hand gesture. “You were saying something? Or not?”

“Oh, uhm, I… I was just asking if…” The boy paused, his eyes darted left and right for a few brief moments, then he bit his lip and curled a little more on himself. “Ah, never mind. It doesn’t matter…”

“Oh, okay. I guess I’ll be on my way then.” Toshinori said. Well, he’d tried. If it didn’t matter, it didn’t matter. “Remember to forget all about this, mh?”

“Oh, ah, uhm…” Midoriya eloquently commented as Toshinori shuffled to get on his feet, and then words started flowing out of his mouth at an unprecedented, hectic speed. “A-Actually I was saying that I really admire you and your unwavering optimism and my biggest dream is to become a hero like you so I would like to know if you think someone can become a hero even without a quirk.”

Toshinori blinked. He stopped moving halfway through standing up, badly propped against the railing behind his back, and he clumsily fell back down on his butt.

He blinked again. “...Without a quirk?”

“Yeah.” The kid answered, thankfully at a more reasonable pace. “I… I’m quirkless. And I’ve always been made fun of because of that, and… no one’s ever taken me seriously when I said I wanted to become a hero. It does feel… simply impossible, at times. But I was wondering if, if maybe you… do you think it’s possible?”

…Huh. Would you look at that? The stars had indeed aligned in a very peculiar way for Toshinori, that day. That someone, a quirkless boy, might ask that specific question to him, of all people… This required some thinking. A calm assessment, a balanced mind, tactful wording. The weight of this boy’s entire expectations, hopes and fears rested on Toshinori’s shoulders - not by chance, probably. Not by chance, but by some carefully ordained play of fate. Toshinori would not trifle with this duty so lightly.

He crossed his legs where he sat, rested his elbows on his knees, joined his hands as if in prayer right in front of his mouth. And thought. At length. And deeply.

And then, he looked the trepidant boy straight in the eyes, and spoke.

“No.”

It was Midoriya’s turn to blink. “N-No?”

“No.”

“...That’s it?” The boy said, visibly disappointed. “I mean, just… Why not?”

“What do you mean, why not?” Toshinori asked, bewildered. Wasn’t his answer clear enough? Simple, straightforward, concise, precise? What did this child want from him, a twenty-step mathematical proof? “How do you expect to be able to fight villains and rescue people without a quirk?”

“Ah, well, I thought… Maybe with support items?” The kid offered tentatively, and then someone went and fast-forwarded his voice again. “I mean, all heroes use support items! Some to improve mobility, some as armor, some as weapons, so I thought a quirkless hero could exist too! He could use support items more to compensate for the lack of a quirk!”

“Psh.” Toshinori waved his hand dismissively. “Support items don’t cut it. They break, they run out of batteries and ammos, they get misplaced or forgotten. They aren’t reliable enough. Because they aren’t part of-”

“But quirks have drawbacks too! Quirks have limits and sometimes even damage the user when abused! They aren’t that different from support items! Technology has made such incredible leaps, I don’t see why a quirkless hero shouldn’t-”

“No, no, you don’t get it.” Toshinori pinched the bridge of his nose and took another moment to choose his words. “Support items are things. They can only do so much. But what a hero needs is the ability to go beyond.”

Midoriya gave him an odd look. “I’m not sure I’m following…”

“Look. When you are in a pinch, which is often in our line of work, you have to… draw something extra from within yourself to pull through. A motivation, a strength, a boost, a… a Plus Ultra. Right? You can’t squeeze that Plus Ultra from a tool. But you can get it from your quirk. Because your quirk is part of you, and it’s alive.” Toshinori explained passionately, and bumped his fist against his chest, right where his own fire lay. “And when you call for it to go the extra mile, it will respond, and it will carry you through those hardships.”

For the first time, Midoriya truly seemed to absorb Toshinori’s words. Slowly and thoughtfully, he mimicked his gesture, closing his fist and resting it against his chest… and then his expression scrunched up. Painfully. “And is this Plus Ultra something only people with a quirk have? Something quirkless people just… lack?”

“Oh, uhm.” That garbled Toshinori’s thoughts for a moment. “Well, that’s not-”

“It can’t be!” The kid burst out with surprising vehemence. “You said your quirk is a part of you, but it’s not the only part! There are others! Why shouldn’t quirkless people have their own Plus Ultra, from their own parts?!”

“It’s not that. Of course you can gather your strength and fight back even if you’re quirkless, but in that case, it’s just… not enough.” Toshinori rubbed his palm on his forehead. Why on earth had he had the unfortunate idea of inviting this conversation, again…? “A well-trained quirk is a hero’s best defense. It’s what saves their lives and the lives of other people when things get dire. And yet, a lot of times even that isn’t enough, and bad things happen anyway. Even… Look.” 

Toshinori grabbed the lower rim of his t-shirt and hiked it up. As per well-established habit by now, Midoriya reacted to the sight of Toshinori’s twice-cursed side with a shriek and a horrified expression.

“W-w-what… what is that?!” A skyscraper, Toshinori almost replied. Patience. Mocking naive schoolboys was most unheroic too. 

“Cool, huh?” He said instead, as he contemplated the wound himself…because it was cool, he just realized. Huh. In all honesty, it was a lot easier to look at the damn thing with less rancor when it didn’t feel like two thousand incandescent needles were piercing it as soon as you bent a bit oddly. Maybe it was time for a paradigm shift, Toshinori pondered. It was all a matter of perspective, after all. Maybe there was no need to spend the rest of his life resenting the stupid scar for existing, maybe he could simply rethink it. Start looking at the positive sides. And if there was one undeniable positive side to scars, Toshinori decided, it was bragging rights. “Wanna touch it?”

“WHA- NO!” Midoriya cowered at the mere idea. Disappointing. Had today’s kids lost the love for the thrill of daring each other to touch gross stuff? Very disappointing. “D-Doesn’t it hurt?!”

“HAH!” Toshinori produced another spurt of blood in his enthusiasm, elated, wonderfully and genuinely elated to be able to answer- “Not today!”

“Is that why you look like… that?”

“Mm-hmm.” Toshinori nodded solemnly. “Lost my stomach because of this thing. A lung too.”

Midoriya’s only reaction to the additional information was aghast silence. Come on, where were the awed oooohs and aaaahs that performing such a feat of survival ought to earn Toshinori? This kid was giving him zero satisfaction. “How…?”

“A real rotten guy did it. He got what he deserved though.” One rotten guy Toshinori would not mention, nor think about more than strictly necessary. He wasn’t worth it. “Anyway, my point is that this kind of thing happens a lot to heroes. It happened to me too. And I’m me. And my quirk is pretty damn strong, if I say so myself. But it wasn’t strong enough to fully protect me anyway, and I got wrecked.” Toshinori made a poignant pause as he let his shirt fall back in place. “You get me? What do you think would happen to a hero who doesn’t even have a quirk to defend himself with?”

“...He’d get wrecked even more.” Midoriya mumbled meekly, bowing his head in defeat.

“Mmh.” 

“And the people he’d be trying to rescue wouldn’t receive the help they need.”

“Mmmmh.”

Midoriya paused, then drew a long sigh and made a little self-deprecating grimace. “I guess… it really is true. Quirkless people just can’t become heroes… Someone would already have, if it was possible at all, and they’d be famous for it. Everyone would know. But no one ever made it.”

“Mmmmmnope.” 

A tiny, squirmy something nagged at the back of Toshinori’s mind, but he ignored it. It wasn’t technically a lie, after all. Naive Quirkless Toshinori and Outstanding Hero Toshinori were two parts of him that had never met - they were pretty much antithetical, in fact, and had not overlapped once. When the latter had come into being, the former had ceased to exist. Two entirely different entities, almost. Toshinori didn’t contradict the no-quirkless-heroes rule, he was the exception that confirmed it.

“...I understand.” The boy eventually acquiesced, arms slack along his sides, head bent, shoulders hunched. QED, at long last. Toshinori had now won a grand total of two arguments with the kid, but he was dramatically losing the war for improving his mood. The latest exchange had sunk it even further, actually. That was completely unbecoming of the Symbol of Peace, whether he weighed 70 kilos or 255. That ought to be fixed immediately.

“Why are you so dead set on aiming for one of the few professions that basically require you to have a quirk, anyway? You could do just as much good in so many other fields.”

“Yeah, I know…”

“How about becoming a police officer?” Toshinori went off on a limb. “One of my best friends is a police officer, and he’s quirkless. Splendid fellow. Efficient, capable, kind-hearted… A real lifesaver. No pun intended. I’d have drowned in paperwork years ago if it weren’t for his help.”

“Mmmh…”

“Oh, and I know a quirkless girl around your age too, and she’s- oh, she’s just a joy! Clever, positive, helpful… She’s studying to become a support item engineer, and she’s going to blow up the field as soon as she completes her education, mark my words.” Oh man, just mentioning her was making Toshinori’s heart do somersaults. He missed Melissa and Dave, he missed them so much… How long had it been since he’d last seen them in person? Too long, way too long. Damn it all, he was going to make room in his schedule for a quick trip to I-Island as soon as he could. He’d visit them, and he’d have a whale of a time, and he’d bring them a gigantic gift basket filled with all the best varieties of soda money could buy. “You’re into support items, right? That could be a good career for you too!”

“I-I get it.” Midoriya finally looked back at him with a little smile. Very little and clearly far from persuaded but, uh, progress? “I should… I will look into other things. I suppose people were right, I should start thinking a bit more… realistically.”

“Yeah!” Toshinori agreed, finally getting back on his feet and approaching the kid. “Don’t let yourself get bogged into a single fanciful objective! Dreams are all well and good, but, if you just remember to keep your feet on the ground…” Toshinori underlined his advice with a light stomp of his boot on the floor-

And it exploded.

Well, not the concrete floor they were standing on, nor his boot, thankfully, but something exploded somewhere. They both flinched at the loud bang, and turned their heads in unison towards the source of the noise. A rapidly rising cloud of black smoke had erupted between two tall buildings a short distance to the west. Uh oh.

“Busy day today, huh?” All right, chit chat time was over. Toshinori immediately bulked up into his muscle form and fired up his quirk, ready for action. “I’ll take care of it.”

“...Oh. Oh no.” Was Midoriya’s predictable, thoughtful, level-headed, totally not panicking input. “Oh no, the bottles! I made you drop-”

“Sorry, gotta bounce.” Heh. Bounce. Nice. “Best of luck for your future!”

Without further ado, Toshinori leaped. He soared in the sky at impressive speed towards the commotion, he soared high, high, higher than ever…

And then, right at the zenith of his jump, he poofed back into his true form.

…Crap. He’d forgotten about his time limit. It was deceptively hard to keep track of it now that it wasn't heralded by the usual cacophony of warning body pains. Crap.

He’d also underestimated gravity. Again. A major miscalculation, because gravity was a harsh, unforgiving mistress, who did not take kindly to being ignored. And as soon as she noticed that Toshinori had disrespected her so, she immediately put him back on a leash and started dragging him down, down, lower than ever…

“Ah, shit.” Toshinori muttered, trying and failing to summon his quirk again, and again, and again, obtaining nothing more than feeble puffs of steam in return, and- and the ground was getting closer and closer at a frankly disturbing speed now, and- “Ah, FUCK-”

Yui Suzuki wasn’t an exceedingly sympathetic person. She was aware of it and, although she wasn’t terribly proud of it, she didn’t think it much of a flaw either. Everyone was entitled to a measure of selfishness, she judged, it was just how life worked. That is why she didn’t feel particularly guilty when, upon stepping outside her shop to check on the source of that frightening bang and saw the alarming dark cloud likely tied to it, her first thought was “Good thing it didn’t happen any closer to my store!”, rather than maybe worrying about potential casualties and damages in the neighborhood. Maybe she wasn’t a model citizen, but she didn’t believe in karma either, and she maintained that one’s private thoughts couldn’t possibly hurt anyone, especially not herself.

That day, however, the universe apparently decided to send Yui a clear message. Because no more than a second after she’d harbored that slightly self-centered notion, something happened right outside the door of her precious laundry. Something that fell right out of the sky with no warning whatsoever, and crashed in the middle of the street hard enough to dig a small crater in it and create a tiny whirlwind of dust and dirt.

Miraculously unharmed, Yui and the few passersby in the area gaped in shock at the… whatever it was that caused such a scary collision. A broken satellite? Debris thrown their way by the explosion? Whatever it was, it must be scalding, because it was enveloped in a thick layer of steam that took a few moments to dispel, even after the dust had settled.

But, in fact… to everyone’s increasing perplexity, it was a person. A man, to be precise, curled up on himself defensively, who had nonetheless managed to land on his feet in the middle of the hole. Slowly, amidst astonished silence, the tall, haggard blond who’d just landed with all the grace of a meteor stood up unsteadily. He looked down at himself and coughed once, harshly, then started patting some dust off his shirt with unhurried movements, almost sluggish. He stopped abruptly when it came down to cleaning his trousers. He checked his many pockets, one by one, methodically, then scratched his head and glanced confusedly at the smoke dispersing in the sky not far from there.

And then, only then, the man seemed to take notice of his surroundings. Sunken, absent eyes blinked owlishly at each of the bystanders. Without a word, he made his way out of the crater on very wobbly legs, offering only a sheepish smile and a little wave in lieu of greeting to the onlookers, before quietly slinking away into the nearest alley.

It took a hot minute for Toshinori to finally reach the site of the accident, mostly because his knees hadn’t stopped buckling once since his rough landing - he’d finally managed to activate his quirk right before hitting the ground, therefore avoiding turning into an unsightly splotch on the asphalt, but the impact had rattled him something fierce nonetheless. With his legs reduced to nigh-jelly-like state, out of breath, and mildly out of it in general, Toshinori simply had to lean against the nearest wall for a moment as he took stock of the situation.

Which wasn’t good. Explosions, fires, slime, and another soon-to-be-assimilated boy. Bad combination. Several heroes were already on scene, but only a couple of them were actively taking steps to address the problem, and only so far as containment and protection of the onlookers went, not to rescue the hostage. That was somewhat mistifying, and a little irritating. They better all be nursing their own nearly-deadly chronic injuries to justify this level of idleness, or Toshinori would be tempted to call this laziness.

He wasn’t in any position to judge though. He tried reaching into his quirk once again, but he couldn’t even muster enough energy to switch forms. As a further act of spite, his thrice-cursed side even gave a traitorous pang. He’d breezed through the day’s ordeals swimmingly (heh. Like the guys at the pool. Swimmingly- no, this wasn’t the time for puns), only to come up short on the home stretch.

So. 

This was a bit of a pickle.

Toshinori was racking his brain to figure out a way to overcome the impasse… when it happened.

It happened, and suddenly everything became crystal clear.

Suddenly Toshinori was fully and unmistakably certain of what exactly the stars had aligned themselves for, of where exactly they’d been leading him, of what exactly they’d meant him to witness. And with that mind-blowing, life-changing realization, One For All sang joyfully within him.

And his legs moved on their own.

Izuku was having the strangest day of his life. It wasn’t even over yet, but it had already gone above and beyond the requirements for that label.

Almost dying (twice) wasn’t even the most extraordinary part of it. He’d met All Might! The one and only All Might - there really was no more doubt about that after the man had saved him again. And it had been… Well. All Might was very different from how Izuku had always envisioned him. Not only physically - and that had been quite the shocker in its own merit - but also, uh, personality-wise. The way he spoke and moved and reasoned were… peculiar, in a way that Izuku couldn’t quite describe. Izuku supposed that genius came hand in hand with eccentricity, and the Symbol of Peace was nothing if not a prodigy. Not that he regretted meeting him in person in any way! Not at all! He still admired and respected the hero and everything he stood for just as much as before, or even more so, now that he’d caught a glimpse of his previously unthinkable struggles. It’s just that… Well, he’d be spending a few weeks going through the events of the day over and over in his own head, to put it mildly.

Izuku had finished listening to Kacchan’s rant and was finally ready to get back home and fuse with his bed until the next morning, when the universe decided to fix him with another serving of excitement. Out of the blue, All Might sprinted out of a side lane and skidded to a halt right in front of him (striking a pose that looked suspiciously and disturbingly like a dab). Before Izuku could recover from the mild heart attack his loud greeting had given him, the man had already shrunk into his thin form, coughed more blood and, and…

Staggered closer, dropped to his knees right in front of him, and hugged him.

“Uuuuuhhh.” Izuku’s brain unhelpfully supplied to his mouth.

“...It’s you. I finally found you.” All Might said, his tone even more strangely dreamy than before, long, bony arms caging Izuku in a tight (but not uncomfortable) embrace. “It was fate that let us meet today, wasn’t it?”

“Uh…Uh…” Izuku stuttered, utterly failing to process anything whatsoever about the current situation. “I’m not sure… what…”

“You’re perfect. We’re… we’re the same. Same story. Same body. Same heart.” All Might continued softly as he petted Izuku’s hair in a way that, had he been literally any other random stranger he’d just met, would have compelled Izuku to start screaming for the nearest policeman. He was no random stranger though. He was All Might, so basically the only positive male role model Izuku had had for his entire life. If anything, it made Izuku want to cry a little. “You’ll make a magnificent hero, there’s no doubt about it.”

“A hero…?” Izuku startled slightly at that, which made All Might let go and pull back enough to meet his gaze properly. Izuku… hadn’t meant to do that. He’d have been perfectly content to remain like that a little longer, but- never mind.

“But of course! What you did back there was, was…” The hero beamed, his bright eyes darting up and left and right, searching for the most appropriate terms to convey his thoughts. “You just went for it! No hesitation! No plans! No strategies! No thoughts whatsoever!”

“A-Ah… Yeah, I guess… That wasn’t very smart of me.” Izuku mumbled apologetically. “I’m sorry, that was very dangerous and I should have used my head before-”

“No no, it was perfect!” All Might interjected gleefully. “That’s exactly what being a hero is about! No thoughts, just…” He produced a strange sound with his mouth and made an odd gesture, drawing some sort of line and circle and spinning motion in the air with his hand. Izuku had absolutely no idea how to interpret any of that. All Might didn’t seem displeased or reproachful though, which was good at least. “Brilliant. Just brilliant.”

“Thank you, but… Earlier you said that there’s no way I can become a hero without a quirk, and I-”

All Might threw his head back and burst into a boisterous laugh that Izuku wouldn’t define deranged out of pure courtesy. “That’s not a problem, we can fix that. In fact…” The man plucked a long, golden strand from one of his droopy bangs and held it out right in front of Izuku’s nose, so close that it almost made him go cross eyed. “Here!”

Izuku blinked. “Uhm, what…?”

“Your quirk!” All Might said, grinning widely. “Have at it!”

“Ah…” That statement was so perplexing in so many ways that Izuku didn’t even know where to start. Wisely, he chose to begin with the most obvious one. “That’s a hair.”

“Yeah!” All Might’s smile was eerily unwavering and enthusiastic. 

…Okay. One thing at a time. Maybe doing as he was told would grant Izuku further, less cryptic explanations down the line. Hopefully. He motioned to take the proffered hair as he was clearly expected to do, when All Might suddenly snatched it away before Izuku’s fingers could even brush it.

“Wait, no. No no no, we can’t do this.” The man recanted, all his overflowing cheer swiftly morphing into ill-concealed concern. He pulled back a little further and grabbed Izuku’s shoulder with his free hand, slowly scanning him from head to toe. “You’re a noodle. You’d explode.”

“WHAT?!” Izuku flinched back in turn, putting as much space as All Might’s grip allowed between himself and the seemingly-explosive hair. “W-What does that mean? What’s going on?”

“Hang on, we have to… Make some preparations first… Hmmm.” The hero hummed thoughtfully, letting go of him and tapping his chin slowly. He trailed off and his eyes went a little unfocussed- why did he keep doing that? Izuku waited, mostly out of politeness, for a good minute until the man’s attention finally snapped back on him and he casually flicked the hair off into the air. Much to Izuku’s relief, it did not explode. “All right. No big deal. We’ll do this at a later date, after you’ve shaped up a little.”

“All Might.” Izuku said, not bothering to hide the pleading edge of his tone. It had been a very long day, and he was very tired. Even at the cost of sounding very dumb and very pathetic, he couldn’t muster the energy for anything other than unadulterated honesty. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, right. Okay. Here’s the thing. What if I told you…” Taking Izuku’s confusion in full stride, the hero’s grin was back in full force as he leant forward again, bracing his hands on his thighs. “That I could give you my quirk?”

“...Uhhh-”

“My quirk-” He went on without actually waiting for an answer, “Can be passed down from person to person, as an ever-increasing reserve of raw physical strength!” Slowly and theatrically, All Might spread his arms and threw his head and his whole torso back, so much that Izuku almost grabbed his shirt by sheer reflex to prevent him from toppling backwards onto the street. He didn’t though, and the man’s balance managed to withstand the ordeal. “It’s a crystalline network of power at the service of the brave hearts and minds who wield it with noble intent!”

For the umpteenth time that day, Izuku was utterly speechless. That was… unbelievable. And completely unheard of. Not even hypothesized, ever. An ever-increasing… transmissible… Holy crap. Holy crap.

“Is that why you can get bigger and buff all at once?” Izuku blurted out, his ability to speak rushing back to him with a vengeance. “Does that happen when all the stored energy flows into you? And it gets converted into… muscle mass?”

“...Eh?” All Might re-emerged from his back-leaning pose with a puzzled expression. “No, no, that’s… I told you, that’s just flexing- pay attention, young Midoriya, this is very important.”

“S-Sorry… Wait, how do you know my nam-”

“My quirk’s name is One For All.” The man testily went on, raising his index between them, presumably to emphasize the ‘one’, and then angled it horizontally to point at Izuku. “And you are worthy of inheriting it.”

“M-Me, I’m… What?!” Izuku gasped, his mind still reeling from the barrage of information and revelations. “B-But… how- I didn’t- why would you think that?!”

“Because you have all the right stuff! Or you will, at least!” All Might poked Izuku’s chest teasingly. “You have the self-sacrificing heart of someone who puts the wellbeing of others before anything else, even against overwhelming odds, and you will have a body capable of channeling that power, once you’ve trained decently! How does that sound?”

“It sounds… too good to be true.” Izuku replied frankly. That whole day felt like an extraordinary long and bizarre dream, and Izuku was sure he was just about to wake up and realize that he’d never met All Might, never hugged All Might, never been promised a quirk-

“Hey, hey, what’s that face for?” Oh crap, Izuku was crying, wasn’t he? He quickly wiped his eyes on his sleeve, but new tears and sobs replaced the old ones instantly. “You don’t believe me?”

“No, no, it’s not that-”

“I never lie. I embellish and reframe facts, sometimes. Omit truths at worst. But never lie!” All Might declared, straightening his back fully and proudly. Even when kneeling on the ground, his height easily surpassed Izuku’s. “Just give me a couple of days to organize a few things and you’ll see. We’ll make a hero out of you, my boy, if it’s the last thing we do!”

Well, Izuku definitely hoped it wouldn’t be, but… even with his vague understanding of all that had just happened, he found that… he looked forward to it. To see where this weird, weird being-trained-by-All-Might-to-receive-his-quirk thing would lead. It couldn’t be any worse than where his current helpless middleschooler’s life was heading, could it?

“You’re exhausted, aren’t you?” A warm pat on his shoulder pulled him out of his mulling. All Might was smiling kindly, so very kindly, and that sent another sweet-sharp throb of emotion right through his heart. “All right, all right, I won’t keep you any longer. Go home. I’ll text you to let you know when we’ll start with the training, okay?”

“O-Okay.” Izuku tried his best to pull himself together, and gave the man a faint smile in return. Fearless smiles were just the thing when one needed to summon their inner hero, weren’t they? “T-Thank you. For everything.”

All Might hummed again and waved him off. Izuku started walking away as he dried his last tears, threw a quick glance back at the man, looked and walked forward again, then turned back to check on All Might once more… and then he stopped, because he thought it just a little odd that the hero was still waiting there, kneeling and perfectly motionless and ever smiling.

“Uhm. Aren’t you going to…?” Izuku asked.

“To what?”

“Leave?”

“Oh. Yeah, yeah, I’m… I’ll…” All Might let out a small, bizarre giggle. “I can’t- I can’t get up.”

“What?” Izuku’s heart rate spiked with sudden worry as he instantly ran back to his idol’s side. “Are you all right? Is something wrong?”

“Ah, it’s just my legs, they’re a bit, uh…” The man bowed his head and regarded his thighs with the same fond and slightly exasperated expression of a parent watching a mischievous child disobey out of sheer defiance. “I think I overdid it a little.”

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry, I should have noticed, or asked…” Izuku hastily shrugged off his backpack and started rifling through it in a mild panic. “A-Are you in pain?”

“No!” If possible, All Might’s smile grew even more inexplicably serene. “I’m not!”

“...Okay. Okay, that’s good. I think.” Priorities, Izuku reminded himself. Freaking out and being hopelessly confused could wait until later. He finally found his phone and started tapping the screen frantically. “S-Should I call an ambulance? Or your agency? Or someone you know? Can you move your legs at all?”

“Yeah, don’t worry.” As if to prove his point, All Might squirmed slightly on the spot. His legs seemed indeed capable of movement, but he didn’t even attempt to stand up. Was this another consequence of his injury? Was this as common as coughing blood? Was this why he seemed so utterly unbothered by it all? “Hey, don’t worry, really, I’m fine! I just need to catch my breath and I’ll be on my way.”

“Are you sure you can make it home by yourself?” Izuku griped.

“Well, I have to. It’s not like I can just teleport there. Gotta walk the walk.”

Izuku blinked. “I could call you a taxi.”

All Might blinked back. “...Oh.” His grin was becoming so impossibly wide that Izuku feared his jaw would eventually detach from the rest of his skull. “Brilliant!”

“Right. Okay.” To the best of his ability, Izuku focussed exclusively on the task of dialing the taxi service number, without questioning his hero’s behavior in the slightest. “I can give you my number as well while we wait, I guess.”

“What for?” Was the dumbfounded question. Izuku drew a deep, long breath.

“...So you can text me. Like you said you would.”

“That’s right!” All Might, Symbol of Peace, Number One Hero, contemplated Izuku’s face with blinding, overwhelming, and unparalleled awe and admiration. “Brilliant! Just brilliant!"

When Toshinori woke up, fifteen hours later and with a much clearer head, he found that the events of the previous day had yielded an exceptionally varied legacy. To name a few examples:

An expanded and emboldened pattern of body aches, starring his lower limbs in a key role for the first time ever;

Some thirty-odd attempts at contacting him, in the shape of calls, texts and mails, from his agency’s PR department, which he had missed entirely until that moment due to his phone having somehow put itself on silent mode unbeknownst to him;

Dozens of articles and reports that would trickle on papers, TV and web over the coming weeks speculating on the bizarre behavior and peculiar declarations of the Symbol of Peace over the course of an unscheduled work day;

A long-lasting dread that one day someone might unexpectedly whip out an amateur recording of a twiggy man plummeting from the sky and wearing the exact same clothes All Might would be seen wearing mere minutes later in a very close location, and use it to connect a few dots;

A text from Recovery Girl containing a very warm recommendation to drop by her office for a revision of his new treatment plan;

A wonderfully kind-hearted, woefully untrained, adolescent crybaby to turn into something vaguely akin to a proper successor (if the kid was even willing to. Toshinori… didn’t remember actually asking the boy’s opinion on the matter).

If asked, out of all those and other things, which was the single most relevant thing Toshinori had retained from the whole experience, his answer would probably be a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the word ‘regret’.

Why CA$H is still relevant?

Introduction

Cash has always been a constant and it seems like a rather obvious and reliable option for transactions. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, the usage of digital means of transactions was observed to take a hike. This further led to the demise of cash as a form of payment and was replaced by cashless payment methods. Even at a global level, digital transactions came into full play. Electronic transactions were always viewed as making carrying significant quantities of cash unnecessary because they are quicker and simpler to use and they just got highlighted further starting in those times. Now, they are the most popular payment method for larger payments and currently make up a larger percentage of payments in value terms than cash. This includes the usage of cards and other apps for the same.

In this context, the World Bank and Gallup, Inc. collaborate every three years to generate the Global Findex database, which examined how people in 123 economies used financial services in 2021. According to the said Global Findex 2021, some regional overviews were turned. 

Starting with East Asia and the Pacific, 89% of adults in China have a bank account, and 82% of those adults have used it to pay for goods and services online. In the rest of the region, 23% of adults completed digital merchants payments, 54% of them did so for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 59% of individuals have accounts.

Since 2017, the percentage of adults in Europe and Central Asia who possess accounts has risen by 13 points, reaching 78% too. Around 75% of adults utilized an account to send or receive a digital payment, demonstrating the widespread use of these transactions.

With the highest rise in account ownership among developing world regions (up to 18 percentage points since 2017), 73% of people in Latin America and the Caribbean now have an account as well. A significant part is played by digital payments, which were used by 40% of people to make purchases from merchants, including 14% of adults who did so for the first time as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, COVID-19 sped up the adoption of digital technology for the 15% of adults- more than double the average for developing countries- who paid their first power bill directly from their account during the pandemic.

Why is cash still relevant then?

Although Covid has had a long-lasting effect, resulting in some permanent alteration in payment patterns in favor of digital alternatives, we find that cash use has proven resilient- perhaps shockingly so. Two years after the pandemic began, there has been a partial recovery in the transactional use of cash as aforementioned, and the value of NIC (Notes In Circulation) is still high. 

In today's digital age, cashless transactions are becoming increasingly popular. From credit and debit cards to mobile payments and online transfers, there are a plethora of ways to make purchases without using physical currency.

However, it's important to remember that cash is still a valuable and necessary form of payment.

For instance, in India, since the demonetization in November 2016, wherein banknotes of 500 and 1,000 denominations were banned, currency in circulation has increased almost by 83% as in December 2022.

Key reasons for the relevance of cash:

For one, cash transactions can be faster and more convenient than digital ones. There's no need to wait for a card to be approved or for an online payment to clear - cash can be handed over and received instantly. Additionally, cash transactions don't require a reliable internet connection or a fully charged phone, making them a more reliable option in areas with spotty connectivity.

Cash is also important for those who are unbanked or underbanked (Conlis Solutions can help here). Not everyone has access to a bank account or a credit card, and cash is the only option for these individuals to make purchases. Additionally, cash can be used in situations where digital payments are not accepted, such as small, local businesses or street vendors.

Furthermore, cash provides a sense of anonymity and security that digital transactions do not. When using cash, there is no need to provide personal information such as credit card details or bank account numbers. This can be especially important for those who are concerned about privacy or identity theft.

Using cash can help people stick to a budget. When you pay with cash, you can physically see the money leaving your hand, which can make it easier to keep track of your spending. With digital transactions, it can be easy to overspend without realizing it.

Cash is the most inclusive form of payment, it is accepted everywhere and by everyone. Many people, particularly those in low-income communities or developing countries, do not have access to bank accounts or other digital financial services. Cash is an important tool for financial inclusion, as it allows these individuals to participate in the economy

Not everyone has access to the technology or infrastructure required for digital transactions. This includes people who live in rural areas, older adults, and those without smartphones or bank accounts. Cash is a universally accepted form of payment and does not require any special equipment or internet connection to use.

Conclusion

Despite the pandemic and digital payment methods, cash remains relevant. It is still considered a veritably dependable source of payment and may even be considered as an ultimate source of payment, in its storage value.
