Welcome back to The Swedish Village with your hosts, Martha and Ingvar! 🇸🇪✨

In today's "hot topic" episode, we are diving into something that shocks almost every foreigner moving to Scandinavia: The Cashless Society. In 2026, Sweden is closer than ever to completely eliminating paper money—but not everyone is happy about it!

Ingvar shares a hilarious story about visiting a countryside flea market (loppis) last weekend, finding a vintage Dala horse, and realizing the elderly seller only accepted cash. His desperate hunt for a 2026 ATM (bankomat) will make you laugh and teach you a lot about modern Sweden! Meanwhile, Martha breaks down the essential vocabulary you need for shopping, paying, and getting by in a world dominated by digital payments and Swish.
