Less taxes are payed on cash because plenty of shops don’t register every cash sale, but a card payment you almost can’t not register correctly.

Sure, the note doesnt change, but whoever receives payment does not receive the full $100 because of taxes.
Unless you’re at a local fair which does not pay taxes, nobody is just trading a full $100 at each stage

Hence my suggestion about exchanging cash at local markets ;)
