The State needs all transactions to be tracked. Credit cards have gone a long way in this regard, but still not perfect as long as cash is available.

To make cash unavailable, other forms of payment must be incentivized. If they abruptly outlaw cash, the frogs might realize they're boiling.

So instead, you give people "better" money (incentive redemption, UBI, social credit multiplier, etc) and don't offer a facility to turn it into cash.

That, PLUS inflation, is GG.
