    It was tried back in the late 1970s or early 1980s. There were pumps where you sat a dollar bill onto a tray and pushed it into the pump, one at a time. That was back when you couldn’t usually buy gas 24 hours a day and gas was less than $1 a gallon. I’m guessing potential drawbacks were fake money, and cash money sitting in the pumps waiting for thieves.
