The flip side is, "modification" covers literally any kind of change, so if an author were to completely prohibit any changes we wouldn't be able to have parody works like "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", for instance.

The US essentially has a trade bloc equivalent to Europe contained entirely within its borders. Thus, it doesn't necessarily need an economic union with other countries. The UK does not.

And you said "nobody" in your earlier comment, which is pretty absolute. Also there are other places that deal in coins- arcades, for starters. Anywhere that deals in cash and doesn't price things in exact multiples of 5 dollars, for another.

>and nobody banks in person anyways

Until ATMs start dispensing and accepting coins, I'll still have to.

>Another example is that in most places in europe, cashapps are not a thing because transfers between banks are free, instant and safe.

Two other factors:

1. In the US, having someone's bank routing and account number is enough to initiate a withdrawal from their account. You can't do that with just an IBAN in SEPA countries.

2. SEPA bank transfers still require you to know someone's legal name. One thing some people like about "cashapps" is that you don't need to give the sender your legal name.

The other thing the big banks have going for them is Visa/MasterCard on debit. Credit unions generally don't offer that; your debit card will typically be Interac only, which means it's only good for shopping at physical stores in Canada and the US.

>Everything is fine in Denmark

Unless you ask a Swede, then they start pointing out lots of things.

Almost. I was kind of caught by surprise one time when I bumped into a laundromat in suburban Copenhagen that was cash only.

When I was in school I somehow convinced my dad to get me a cellular module and monthly data plan for mine. I too felt like hot shit even though I used it mostly for looking up Pokemon cheats and glitches during recess.
