    15 years ago at least 60% of jobs done were cash
    I’d be lucky to get 1% cash these days
    And cash jobs still go through the books
    It’s easier to send an invoice by email or the old slow mail and customers transfer the amount owed
    I still have the occasional cheque sent by the older generation

    I've always liked cash, especially the $50 note. I have to say though, at the moment with this corona thingy, it's getting harder and harder to source the relevant plastic, watermark and ink material for a decent reproduction.

    That must've made you popular with bus drivers. On the subject of making money, a lot of the money for the surrounding islands is/used to be made here, using the same blanks but just different designs, so a mate of mine would go to the bank and get Fijian/Cook Is/ Tongan 20 cent pieces for use in parking meters, as they were only worth a few cents each.

    I’m the treasurer of the local amateur radio club. We still use cheques because we need two signatures on them. You can’t do that very easily with internet banking unless the signatories are at the computer together or one of them gives the other their login details.

    I asked the bank if there was a way around it and there’s not.

    John, I just had a chat with our our Show Society treasurer and the Society requires two signatures on payments and do it online regularly. If your club has it's own a/c, then having two signatories is not an issue, with nothing personal involved.
    It seems quite simple to me so, it must be!

    PM me if you want more advice or I could perhaps, arrange a phone call with said treasurer.

    I guess Ron would find that handy unless said Treasurer cleans out his account.

    Yes, the club has its own account. Odd that Commbank said it can't be done. I tried paying an account using internet banking using my login details. That was fine but I couldn't proceed without a second signatory. I could give that signatory my customer no. and password as I no longer have a Commbank account and haven't had one for years but the bank kept my details. I found that out when I became treasurer, the bank had my details from 20 years ago.

    New thread- Appropriate names was considered but trivia fits

    A Brisbane man has been granted bail on a tainted property charge after a routine traffic stop unearthed $4.35 million of cash in his car.

    His last name is CROSS. I would be too if I just lost 4.35 million! Wouldn't you be Cross too?

    Link to the yarn

    There's probably a perfectly innocent reason for him carrying the cash. It may have been payday, his missus sent him to the shops for milk, bread and bum fodder or he just found it and was on the way to the cop shop to hand it in.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
