Handling cash has quite a high cost as well, again, ultimately paid by
the consumers.

There obviously are costs and nuisances in handling cash.

However, retail stores have to have full provision to handle cash no
matter what, so many of the cash handling costs are fixed. The store
owner still has to go to the bank to deposit the day's receipts
regardless of the amount.
