If a bank or preferably credit union adopts GNU Taler, they can't realistically expect the receiver of the tokens to know who sent the tokens due go their anonymous nature. A receiver could put an info form before the GNU Taler part, but the sender could just put john doe info there.

It is truly like cash. I know in the US many banks would get weirded out if you try to deposit a large amount if cash and may report it to the IRS, but as long as its reflected in your taxes, then it should be okay.

The only trouble is, that's exactly why they would refuse to adopt GNU Taler.

Some banks in Europe are already adopting it, and credit unions would be much more likely to as well.
