Ohio Lawmakers Push for Cash Access in New Bill

Ohio lawmakers are considering the CASH Act, which would mandate cash acceptance in businesses and government offices for transactions under $500. This move aims to protect those who prefer or need to use physical money, as more businesses shift towards cashless systems. The bill also comes amidst concerns over inconsistent rounding policies due to the federal governments decision to stop producing pennies. Meanwhile, Ohio is also exploring alternative payment methods, such as gold and silver-backed accounts and cryptocurrency payments for government fees. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
