Handling cash isn't free, but $0.30 + 3% or whatever is also a significant distance from free.
If your margins are so razor thin that the cost of handling cash is significant, you need to raise your prices. Cash is legal tender -- not accepting it for in-person transactions is really shitty (maybe shouldn't be allowed?)
