Why no checks? To unify us all under a common currency and to require us all to get ID cards. Probably they want us to get used to swiping a card rather than writting out a check. Then when that happens and our cards are constantly being stolen or the numbers are used over the interent or someone is getting credit cards in our names, they will introduce something more like biometric systems or implanted chips.
