"Sweden: Just one in 10 purchases is made with cash, and card is the most common form of payment, followed by the Swedish mobile payment system Swish. Due to threats of war in Europe, Swedish authorities are trying to encourage citizens to keep and use cash in the name of civil defence. Cyber attacks on digital currency are also a concern. In the past, Sweden prioritized efficiency, but now it is pivoting to cash for safety and accessibility. Last year Norway brought in legislation requiring retailers to accept cash, or they can be fined or sanctioned.

Sweden is not the only Nordic country backpedalling on plans for a cashless society. Last year Norway, which has a popular equivalent to Swish called Vipps MobilePay, brought in legislation that means retailers can be fined or sanctioned if they will not accept cash. The government has also recommended that citizens “keep some cash on hand due to the vulnerabilities of digital payment solutions to cyber-attacks”. [MORE]:

Estate Sweden
The earliest known member of the patriarchal line of the family was a cloth salesman named Jacob Schye (born 1674), who was from the town of Sobědruhy (Soborten) in Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). His son, the jeweler Löbel Schie (1718–1790), fathered the jeweler and coin dealer Löbel Salomon Hirschel (born 1745). Hirschel's son, Gutkind Hirschel (1778–1862), moved from Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1801 and changed his name to Gerhard Bonnier. There, Gerhard started a small book store in 1804.
Gerhard's oldest son, Adolf Bonnier (1806–1867), moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1827 to expand the family business. He started a library in the city the following year and another one in Stockholm a few years after. Adolf Bonnier started a publishing company, Albert Bonniers Förlag in 1837 and his two younger brothers, David Felix Bonnier (1822–1881) and Albert Bonnier (1820–1900), soon moved to Stockholm to help with the business.
Traditionally, Sobědruhy was a town in Bohemia, whose Jewish community is probably one of the oldest in the province. The synagogue has a tower, with a clock, and two lamps respectively bearing the dates 1553 and 1654. For some time the Jewish community formed a part of the Leitmeritz district rabbinate, but in 1883 it gained independence and elected as its rabbi Ḥayyim (Heinrich) Galandauer (author of "Der Socialismus im Bibel und Talmud")"
