this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome back to the "overnight news." i'm meg oliv there is a govement across the nation and around the world to get rid of cash, in favor of cards and electronic payments. but that sparked a backlash. philadelphia is the first major city in the nation to require businesses to accept cash. brooks silva-braga reports. >> it's this move away from cash comes as digital options like apple pay and paypal have become more popular. amazon has opened stores that automatically charge you for what you pull off the shelves.
3:41 am
the cash craze has been embraced. for some, these so-called frictionless transactions offer speed and convenience. but many americans are still reliant on cash, and they have the support of an unlikely champion. there's a good chance you know a guy like william greenly. >> if you like the good old philly cheesesteak, we can go down here. >> reporter: chatty, salt of the earth type. the guy who slides up to a register. >> i'll take one lemon. >> reporter: and still pays cash. >> thank you very much, sir. >> thank you. >> reporter: and so when greenly found a coffee shop right downstairs from his philadelphia office that wouldn't take cash, well, that just rubbed him the wrong way. >> everybody comes into city center, business, employment, entertainment, whatever. >> reporter: but not everyone can buy a coffee? >> exactly. not everyone can go in there and buy a basic product. >> reporter: the thing is, greenlee is a philadelphia city councilman. and so he proposed and passed
3:42 am
legislation making philadelphia the first city in the country to force retailers to take cash. >> unfortunately, philadelphia has been called the poorest big city in america, which means there are people who do not have credit. telling people who do not have the ability to have credit that you can't buy a basic product is not treating people fairly. >> reporter: poor people have a lot of serious problems. why focus on the right to buy a $14 salad or a $5 coffee when there are other more pressing issues? >> well, i guess i can say we can do more than one thing at a time. >> reporter: in an era of vast income inequality and skepticism over fast-moving tech, william greenlee had stumbled on a strangely galvanizing issue. san francisco and new jersey followed with similar bills. legislators from new york city and washington, d.c. have called him for advice. >> i think it hit a nerve with people, to be perfectly honest with you. >> reporter: what's the nerve? >> you're telling me that i can't use the currency of the

united states of america? >> reporter: just last year, cashless seemed cool. the owners of dos poros taqueria told cbs news they rarely had to turn away customers wanting to use cash. >> i know china is there already. india is halfway there. >> reporter: two forks, another fast casual spot touted the efficiency of going cashless. >> with every cash transaction, the payment process was slowing down significantly. >> reporter: what a difference a year has made. at least one cashless company, sweet green is now accepting cash again, and the others don't seem excited to talk about it. we reached out to every cashless company we could fine find and none would talk to us on the record. as n the past they argued cash is a headache and leaves stores vulnerable to theft. you see this trend continuing. we wont be using cash? >> we'll be using less and less. >> reporter: economics professor ken rogoff was willing to talk
3:44 am
about the problems with cash. he is the author of "the curse of cash" and argues among other things hard money fuels crime. >> human trafficking, drug smuggling, big-time tax evasion. >> reporter: it would be better, he thinks if we were more like sweden where cash has nearly been phased out. and the u.s. will get there too, rogoff said in another five or ten years. >> the electronic payments are being favored by consumers. forget the businesses. we're on the harvard campus here. if you talk to my undergraduates, they'll say what do we need cash for unless we're buying marijuana? >> reporter: that's pretty funny. if and when cash fades away, rogoff has an idea for helping the 20 million americans who live in unbanked households, meaning they don't have any credit card accounts. >> it would not be that expensive to provide free debit cards to people. and a number of other countries have done this. india has done it.
3:45 am
i mean, if india can afford to do it, we can afford to do it. >> reporter: but the march from paper money to the digital future has taken a notable detour in philadelphia as the city considered its cashless ban, amazon warned officials that the legislation would discourage them from opening a cashless amazon go store in philly. but in the end, it was not william greenlee who caved. >> i understand amazon go, they do take cash. they did not at first, and then they have decided to do it. >> reporter: that might have something to do with you. >> well, maybe. not just me, but i think the fact that this anti-cashless thing, it's spreading around. i think it did have nothing do with it. i don't apologize for doing this. i think it's the right thing to do. later today, sotheby's in london will hold auctions for 20th century art from the middle east. european paintings, drawings and sculpture in what is described as the most important collection of orientalist art in private

sotheby's longest employee. he joined in 1976 as a 16-year-old trainee. two years later he snuck into what turned out to be the biggest sale yet in the company's history. >> and the room was totally packed with celebrities, need i say. >> reporter: nearly $2 million worth of paintings gone in just 21 minutes. >> cezanne, a monet, a renoir, and they just were stunning pictures. >> reporter: in recent decades, sotheby's has brought in record prices for other masterpieces, classic and contemporary. and it sold the private elections of icons such as elton john, david bowie, and jacqueline kennedy onassis. oliver barker has overseen some of sotheby's most prestigious auctions. >> ladies and gentlemen, a masterpiece by basquiet.
3:48 am
>> fair warning and selling, thank you, sir, for $98 million. congratulations. thank you very much. >> this was never collected by american institutions during his lifetime, which tells you a lot about black american art as well. this felt like an absolutely transformative moment. >> 1,100,000 -- >> reporter: barker says after more than 20 years as an auctioneer, he still gets nervous. >> there is absolutely no safety net. and strange things can happen too. >> reporter: like last year when he sold a painting by the street artist banksy for nearly a million and a half dollars, and it started falling through its frame, emerging in shreds. >> i remember i achieved this alarm going off and subblimly thing is that a fire alarm or do we need to safely evacuate everybody, the audience from the room. ultimately i realized this had to be banksy. it had to be a stunt that he pulled basically. >> reporter: over the years, sotheby's has survived controversies. in 2002, it was fined for colluding with the world's other
3:49 am
leading auction house, christie's, to fix commission fees. it's also been fighting the image that it's old school and elitist. can somebody like me who doesn't have a ton of money buy anything off of sotheby's? >> yes, absolutely. but you do need enough money to buy it. >> reporter: what is enough money? >> a bowl at 45 pounds is one possibility. >> so i could buy something for $65. >> yes. not very often, i have to say. >> reporter: anyone can look at the items up close before they hit the auction block, and online bidding has opened up auctions. >> we talk about now sotheby's being a startup. it's like a 275-year-old startup. but that is abundantly true. >> reporter: while the world of auctions is transforming, linelle says their essence remains timeless. >> these items bring joy to people's lives? >> i do think they do, yes. >> reporter: is that why this job brings joy to you? >> oh,
