That manager doesn't know what he is talking about. It's just that simple. He invented a narrative in his head why his local bank has a shortage of coins. It may be something as simple as they had a bunch, sent it off, and then there was a crunch. Banks don't keep a huge stock of coin or cash on hand, because of bank policy, not because of Covid. Idiots everywhere.
My apologies....the "shortage" is "real" due to "covid19".
