Prostitutes don't usually accept credit cards, so cash isn't going to disappear any time soon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Springer

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[10] He resigned in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[10] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Springer had written for its "services". Springer came clean at a press conference. Long-time Cincinnati newsman Al Schottelkotte pronounced Springer's career over, but Springer's honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975 by a landslide. In a post-election interview, Schottelkotte good-naturedly reminded Springer that he had declared Springer's career over. Springer told the newsman, "I'm glad that you were wrong." In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.



And this is what happens when you don't use cash to pay prostitutes. I think the utility of cash has just been proven.
