Well of course they do, Dan.  How else could they process donations?  I
don't know how it is in Australia, but yanks don't carry cash anymore.  If
they do, I wouldn't want to touch it.  We offer the homeless person alms or
mercy, she whips out her phone: "Bless you kind sir, I accept Samsung Pay,
Tabbed Out, Gyft, PayPal, TransferWise, Venmo, Google Wallet, physical
precious metals and any prescription pain medication."

Ours must be a most puzzling world to non-hip older people who don't keep
up.
