I heard that from the time the emergency act was announced to the end of it, over a $billion cash was withdrawn from our banks. I suspect a lot more afterwards. This might have been one of the main reasons they stopped trying to continue it after the first week.
The good news: With all this (public ingenuity work arounds, and then cash withdraws from banks) JT might well have shot his hopes for a central government controlled digital currencies coupled with a cashless society in the foot. Let us hope.
