Just saw signs at the Home Depot this afternoon. Paid with exact change at the grocery store. I guess I can take the coin jar and put it in the counting machine at the bank and take the redhead to dinner for my good deed of the month...

This Schiff runs in cycles. Once upon a once, banks made you roll your coins and write your name and acount on each roll so you couldn't cheat them. Then they started begging you to bring in your stash. After that, only branches with counters would accept change, and then only if loose (I witnessed an old gal almost cry when a teller broke open her carefully rolled treasure). Now my bank charges 5% if you bring in more than $25 worth. The Coin Star machines charge maybe 15% unless you take a gift card instead of a cash ticket.
What fresh Hell is this?

Went to the bank today and cashed a check.
Asked the teller if they were having troubles getting coins yet.
She said not yet but they might be getting short.
I told her i do save them up but didn't think i had that much at the house.
They all got a good laugh.

Toilet paper shortage caused this. I have been wiping my ass with dimes for a while now.

Banks around here don’t have coin machines and won’t accept anything but rolled coins. What do they expect. I have a ton of pennies that aren’t worth my time to sit and roll by hand.

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".

Local HEB grocery store has signs up inside saying due to coin shortage they will no longer be selling (exchanging) rolled coins.

grocery store testerday, East Or/Id border. Sign said exact change only or card purchase. Can not get coin from Fed Reserve.
Further East into Idaho fifty miles today, carhop at Sonic has no clue about coin shortage.

I can understand why there would be a paper money shortage but coins? They make lousy toilet paper.

Coin shortage? Another fear mongering control tactic from the left.

Coin shortage because the mint isn't running due to covid? MY ass! As a percentage, new coins are almost nil compared to older ones. The older ones make up almost ALL of the coins we have here. This is another manufactured crisis meant to get us off cash!!!!!!!
Sunsabitches need to be strung up from the neck until dead! They're trying to ruin the US of A and sell out to the globalists and their One World Order.

Went To Meijers today mostly to buy beer for the long weekend. stood inline at the self scan to get up there and see a small note closed to all but Electrical payment! I pay with CASH, so I had to get in another long line! saw a Manger and he said that theres a Coin shortage now, because the mints have been closed due to the C19 crap! 1st that Iv heard of it! has anyone Else? this is in Northern Michigan! I Find it hard to Belive! i have a dozen or so 5-gallon buckets of coins out in the garage. I would take them to the bank, but Wells Fargo will only accept rolled coins and I'm not going to spend my time doing that.
