The last time I got paid cash in hand, or by cheque was when I was in school doing an after school job.
Last christmas the boss from one job gave me a bonus in the form of a Prezzy card.
Otherwise, it's all digital/online. You don't know if it's real money or not. It's just numbers. If they make a mistake, they just reverse it out again, as happened once, when I got paid $1000 more. We could have kept quiet and not said anything and spent it, but they got on to that one pretty quick.
I do know that cheques can be fraudulent as well and you have to balance a cheque book, which I remember doing when I had one.
