Austria’s leader is proposing to enshrine in the country’s constitution a right to use cash, which remains more popular in the Alpine nation than in many other places. Nehammer said in a statement on Friday Aug. 4, 2023 that “more and more people are concerned that cash could be restricted as a means of payment in Austria.” (AP Photo/Heinz-Peter Bader, File)
