 * Article title: Paradox of Banknotes :
 * Article Evaluation: No current Wikipedia page on the Paradox of Banknotes exist and it is a requested article. There is also a large body of research on the subject both in modern day and historically. In short the Paradox states that while the perceived demand for currency and use in transactions has decreased over the past few decades with the increased prevalence of credit/debit cards and online payment systems, the demand for banknotes globally has continually increased. This can be seen most prevalently in countries with strong currency demand, and especially within the US and EU. :
