If I cashing in all the coins in my coin jars, I could remedy this situation.

Yes, all the businesses that process coinage have been closed and other retailers encourage card use.

I just turned in over $160 in coins from our stash.

People are using plastic. Coins are not “short”, they are simply not circulating.

Since they are hardly worth anything...it doesn’t really matter.

Related to the shutdown of the Fed Reserve due to Covid concerns. Or so I have read.

I haven’t noticed in this area. I usually just dump my change in a bin and eventually use it because just too much accumulates.

Wide mentioned that the local Kroger has signs up about this for the past few days. I was surprised, but apparently true.

Nope. But just so you know, I’m hoarding quarters for the laundromat :-)

Any coins, we might accidentally get, go into a huge jar.

It’s a lot easier to keep tabs on people who pay with a credit card.

I don’t use coins, I hardly ever use cash. It’s not necessary. I don’t write checks either.

It’s a “digital” world, join the current century.

I have yet to see this here in SW Pennsylvania. All the parking meters out here take quarters only. Went to Dairy Queen today paid cash with no problems. Why are all the mints closed down?

Coins? Crap, have you tried getting ammunition lately?

Our local trap club may have to shut down.

Just got back from the grocery store. the bill was $96, so I whipped out a $100 bill. The kid said there was a coin shortage and asked if I wanted to round it up.

There’s a mint here in Denver. We toured it when I was in grade school.
