As of 2025, more than 90% of all money in the world doesn’t physically exist.
It’s not paper, not coins — just digital numbers stored in banking systems. From daily transactions to billion-dollar transfers, most money now moves through screens, not hands.
Governments are already adjusting. Some are phasing out physical currency, starting with the lowest-value coins. In the U.S., the penny is on the chopping block. It costs more to make than it’s worth, and its role in modern transactions keeps shrinking.
The world’s moving fast toward a cashless reality — and coins might become museum pieces sooner than we think.
