at my apt. complex they installed new washer and dryers w/cash card readers. I find it slightly inconvienient b/c I have to goto the main building to fill the card w/cash (but it does take credit card and debit). Other than that, it is slightly easier b/c I don't have to store $15 in quarters for laundry day.
I stopped using cash about 3 years ago. I keep two checking accounts and one savings account. I have a seperate check card for the second checking account and I transfer money to it for purchases (even at the grocery store just incase someone hits and extra zero and empties my account).
Go with a credit union, then - the only fee I pay is if I use an ATM that's out of their network, which is easily avoidable (particularly since I rarely carry cash anyway)...
get an interest free checking account. They are usually quite limitless. I use a savings account for interest. Most banks allow unlimited transfers between accounts while using webbanking.
I have no fees unless I use an ATM that is out of the network. There are so many of these ATMs here that I rarely have a problem unless I go out of state.

Once Wendy's and drug dealers take CC's I am set.

I could go completely cashless, if I didn't mind losing 5% of my income to bank fees...
