Larry, using the smart card as a cash equivalent (instead of an ID)
is another matter. If the news vendor and the guy who sells hot
dogs outside Fry's can be persuaded to install a smart card
reader AND the consumer is willing to transfer $$$ from his debit
card to the smart card, then the makers of SC readers will profit.

And banks won't have to deal with rolls of coins any more.
Ultimately this benefits banks the most? Or whoever gets
to use the float.
