Here are the legislative examples from jurisdictions in the US:

  • New York City - A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to prohibiting food stores and retail establishments from refusing to accept payment in cash

  • Philadelphia - Regulation 8 - Cash payments in retail establishments

  • San Francisco - Acceptance of cash by brick-and-mortar businesses

  • New Jersey - An Act concerning payments by consumers

  • Massachusetts - Discrimination against cash buyers

  • Maryland - Cash transactions preservation act

  • Federal - Payment Choice Act

  • BTW, even Amazon Go brick-and-mortar stores accept cash now to avoid “discrimination and elitism.”
