the Government will allow more shops to decide whether they will accept the cash.

It writes bbc News.

As the rules are now, all of the shops, with few exceptions, accept coins and notes.

But now gas stations, drug stores and clothing stores could refuse to accept cash.

It should ease the burdens and increase the security of stores, believes the minister of trade Rasmus Jarlov (K).

– There are fewer who use cash today, and therefore, we believe that there should be a balance between the hassle and the security risk, which we impose on traders, and so the advantage of it is to take the cash, he says to DR.

trade and industry minister, Rasmus Jarlov (K).

In 2017 a law came into force, certain shops may refuse to receive the cash, between the hours of 22 and 06.

It is this system which the government now proposes to extend.

the Trade organization Dansk Erhverv welcomes the fact that several shops with the government’s proposal will be allowed to say no to cash.

– It is about safety for the employees. When there is robbery, so is the cash, the robbers go after. By saying no to having cash in the shops, so you can reduce the amount of robbery substantially, says chief consultant Henrik Sedenmark to Ritzau.

It should according to the Danish business will be up to all of the shops to say no to cash and only accept card payment.

Even if the government will relax the system, there are still a large number of shops and boutiques that will be required to receive the sounding coin and crumpled banknotes.

Grocery stores, postforretninger, doctors, pharmacies and other shops with key societal functions will not get the benefit of the rebate.

It annoyed John Wagner, executive director of The Co-operating Merchants.

– We had hoped to be allowed to reject the cash in the hours of darkness simply out of consideration for our employees ‘safety,” says John Wagner to DR.

the Consumer council Think is, however, concerned that more shops will get the opportunity to say no to the cash payment.

– There are groups in society who have no other options than to pay with cash. There are young, old, disabled, socially disadvantaged and them is that we also have to take into account when we organise the legislation, says seniorøkonom Troels Holmberg to DR.
