Another possible Ebola twist: Catalyst to become a completely cashless society -- currency may become infected... Just a thought...

Just a hypothesis... Whether real or not, could the government use this Ebola scare to 'ban' all physical currency?

Who would want to handle cash/coin when it may potentially be carrying the deadly disease?

I haven't heard this anywhere in the media -- I'm just trying to think outside the box and see potential outcomes before they happen...

Of course, a cashless society would require some form of either an electronic national/global ID or a biochip implant that will keep track of how much currency everyone is worth...

Kind of a scary thought.

Your thoughts?
