In Denmark the short answer is no; a income must be transferred to a account in a bank, whether your employer is the state or private.
Every citizen is obliged to have a bank account and even hobos and homeless do, if they want their government gibs.
There's still widespread cash based transactions people in between, but any transaction with for instance a store, exceeding DKr. 10.000 (~$ 1.555) requires showing ID and is likely to be refused on grounds of the administrative burden, because of strict laws on whitewashing and it will be reported to authorities..
Bonus: because of the current national bank negative interest rates, you must now pay a 0.7% interest rate on cash deposits exceeding DKr. 100.000 (~$15.555)..
