Depends what you call a "problem". The railway ticket machines
haven't taken plastic until the last year (approx), and even now
it's only a few.

and that was perhaps 20 years ago. Switzerland has been fine
every time I've been there.

Whether Switzerland is fine or not, the ticket machines are not
plastic-friendly.

In both cases, I expect, I've had no problems using plastic at a ticket
office.

I think they charge you extra for buying a ticket at a manned office
(assuming there's one open).

And I don't speak a word of Dutch.

You do, but don't realise it.
