<p>I expect cash is 'legal tender' the world over - otherwise why
would the governments be making it? (Apologizes to those places
without their own money - presumably they use someone else's money
in lieu). <br>
</p>
<p>However that does not compel a business to accept cash. In
Australia a firm can put up signs to exclude cash payments and it
is 'legal'. Fortunately being 'cashless' is seldom the case, the
vast majority accept cash. In some areas I expect them not to take
cards because the internet speeds are slow and it is less then
reliable, cash there is king. <br>
</p>
<p>Defaults take away a lot of data bloat, while storage is cheap
these days .. data transfer is not, particularly large bits of
data. If all default values were tagged on every thing in OSM I
think the increase in size would be large. <br>

<div>Also, the ruling might differ from country to country. Here
in Belgium, cash is a legitimate method of pay in shops BUT
vending machines for example can be card only. So there's

<div>This is different from not tagging a city name on every

<br>
please note that in many regions the acceptance of cash is
the default <br>
assumption. I would be VERY unhappy if "members of the
cash community" <br>
started to tag every shop in my country with
"payment:cash=yes" just for <br>
the shop to appear on someone's "cash accepted here" page,
and I would <br>
likely revert such an edit if I found it to be an
organised effort.<br>
<br>
On the other hand of course it makes sense to tag those
shops that <br>
deviate from the national default and reject cash payments
with <br>
"payment:cash=no".<br>
<br>
I welcome your interest in this matter (as I myself am
wary of the <br>
decline of cash as a privacy-friendly payment method) but
please do not <br>
make the same mistake that other enthusiasts sometimes
make and build a <br>
simple website that then (because instead of working with
sensible <br>
standard assumptions) claims that hundreds of thousands of
shops in the <br>
country don't accept cash just because they don't have a
payment:cash=yes.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
