Abstract
A cash avoidance system uses an identifier associated with a hardware token such as a card to establish an account. Change from cash transactions are credited to the account to be spent for future purchases anonymously. The person in possession of the card may then debit the account to purchase goods and services. The transactions may be carried out over a mesh network.
