Today's (April 3) Washington Post business section has an article on a consortium of VISA and banks working on a digital cash card. Did I sleep thru the messages, or has the list been scooped? Basic story is that the card is a smartcard, designed to be reused, and suitable for small quantities. Nothing in the article about what would prevent it from storing large amounts. No serious technical discussion either, but I infer that it is an online cash card.
