Sweden is going cashless \u2014 whether their central bank is ready or not:<\/strong> In a country where even children\u2019s pocket money is digital, the hidden risks of going completely cashless are at the forefront of lawmakers\u2019 minds. Digital networks failing or cyberattacks could lead to serious problems in the country\u2019s monetary system, meaning that enough physical cash must be printed as a failsafe, Riksbank Governor Stefan Ingves told Bloomberg<\/a>.
