cash only
Bills and coins
Cash only describes businesses or transactions that accept only physical currency—no credit cards, checks, or digital payments.
Often seen on signs at small shops, food trucks, or vendors: The taco stand is cash only.
Sometimes signals a business avoiding transaction fees or, less charitably, operating off the books.
