What do you think we use to buy farecards, air?  It takes several people 
(and armed guards) to remove the cash from the farecard vendors.  Guess 
you've never been in a station late at night when the money train (with 
its dark cars and armed guards) pulls in, the guards jump off, the cash 
boxes loaded, and everything whisked off into the night.
