And a lawyer's answer to whether businesses can legally refuse to accept cash (which says right on it "legal tender") http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/business-career/legal/can-businesses-refuse-accept-cash

The long range plan is indeed to eliminate cash and force people to have everything they do recorded on chips. Many identification, driver's licenses, passports, credit and debit cards already contain them.

There are even people who want to make injecting or attaching the chips to your body mandatory. When that happens, there will be a black market barter economy for necessities because some have religious objections or health reasons for refusing.
