I know there have been a couple of Canadian cities that have played with the idea of electronic cash. A large trial was implemented by one vendor, Mondex in Guelph, Ontario a couple of years ago. I'm not sure of the security issues that electronic cash brings to the table, but it certainly would make carrying around cash a lot easier.
