Why Germans pay cash for almost everything
Another difference between American and other systems. Credit cards in US don't have PIN numbers. Only Debit cards have PIN.

They do have PINs, just most people don't know what they are. You can use the PIN to withdraw cash from an ATM at a ridiculous interest rate. I recently was using my credit card in Iceland at a gas pump where I was prompted for a PIN.

Yeah, but you have to sign, which is worse.
