Pann: Cash in Koreans' wallets

1. [+92, -3] I don't carry my wallet around thanks to Samsung Pay.

2. [+81, -3] None for me.

3. [+40, -0] Because of street food, I have about 10 bills of $1. If I carry a lot of cash, it only makes me nervous.

4. [+15, -1] I'd withdraw a $50 bill and carry it for months. It's only for emergency.

5. [+11, -2] I stopped taking my wallet so I only have coins and a few dollars. I use LG Pay and have a credit card, so I never have to use cash.

6. [+10, -0] Just $10... I barely use cash.

7. [+8, -1] Since I always use Samsung Pay, I don't usually take my wallet. But I do have $10 bill, $5 bill, and $1 bill. $1 bills are actually useful.

8. [+8, -0] You should first ask if I have a wallet.
