The Illinois Tollways are now going cash free; best get an EZ-Pass X-ponder.
My personal thought; good riddance.
Maryland's bridges went all EZ-Pass or Video Tolling. Ether you get a transponder (subscription or on-demand, easy to get 'em) or you get a bill in the mail... about a year and a half after you go through the toll.
Yeah, that happened to me. I just got the transponder about a month ago.
Finally, for those "unbanked" or who cannot qualify for a credit card, currency exchanges do sell prepaid ACH cards.
You can get prepaid VISA/Mastercard/Amex "gift cards" anywhere.
That said... the Federal Register FAQ on cash acceptance on businesses is... confusing. Section 31 USC 5103 says yes (given a purchase would incur a debt that must be paid to receive a good) but the interpretation from the Fed says no. I think that's unclear and requires judicial intervention...
...but I'd rather not derail the thread.
