Abolishing cash is the wet dream of the 'financiers' Ford spoke of because once it's elbowed every financial transaction will be digital and traceable. Moreover, any and every tax/fine/penalty will be collected at source from people's accounts. The ultimate sanction would be to deny access to their own money, and ability to live, for anything a government may legislate for. On every occasion we don't use cash we're tightening the noose around our own necks.
