The document describes a proposed digital payment system called the Money Pad. The Money Pad uses biometric authentication via fingerprint scanning to securely store and transact digital cash. It aims to provide advantages over existing payment methods like credit cards and smart cards by enabling instant funds clearing, strong security through biometrics, and eliminating the need to carry physical cash. The Money Pad consists of a touch sensor to record fingerprints and a magnetic disk to store authentication details, bank information, and digital cash balances. It is envisioned as a convenient way to perform electronic payments and banking transactions using digital cash.
