I mean it shouldn't be controversial at all. A sudden nationwide shortage of coins at the same time the virus narrative hit? I think we missed what should have been a major red pill. They never was a shortage. I paid cash lots of places and witnessed banks giving business coins as usual. Sigh. Just another in a long list of things that never happened.

They tried and people realized how dumb it is when many people don't use cash. This lasted like 2 months before no one even paid attention. The Covid scare still has everyone in a tizzy though.
I collect coins and therefore I pick up 1 or 2 boxes of every denomination on a weekly basis to search through. I was keenly aware of the shut off of rolled coins about a year ago.
Here's what happened: Businesses that usually brought in coins from customers stopped making sales or really slowed down. Furthermore, almost ALL coins are processed into a business bank account, shipped to a Brinks / Loomis facility, run through a massive counter, re-rolled and boxed for delivery back to the bank, or delivered directly to the businesses that are cash pay heavy.
Well..... the banks closed. The car washes, vending machine, candy machine businesses basically couldnt deposit loose coins, so they ended up in bags and boxes in these business owners' basements and closets.
That ended when the banks opened their lobbies and started taking loose coin deposits again approx July / Aug 2020.
That is all very logical. BUT........ there was no time lapse to allow that to happen and thus be a natural shortage. The coin shortage signs went up the same time as the original shut downs.
I use cash and never had a problem with receiving change. In one store the clerk overheard my daughter say to me, "Mom, the sign says exact change." The clerk replied, "It's OK, there's no coin shortage. I don't know why we have those signs."
Truly.
I haven’t given this much thought, but on any thought, a coin shortage in this present environment makes zero intuitive sense to me.
Has there been any attempt at a logical explanation from those who should be able to proffer one?
Not that I've seen. I attempted to search it quickly today and all I came up with were articles refuting that it was a hoax only not with facts just the usual lame crap.
This might have been a good story for an intrepid reporter... only we didn't have an entire media establishment who all fervently believe that their responsibility entirely consists of opening their @ss cheeks as wide as possible.
Communist takeover 101...make the masses do things that they know goes 100% against logical thought...masks...social distancing, quarantine of healthy people...TP shortage...coin shortage...the list goes on.
TP too
Well that really did 'disappear' from sight. The coins never did. Somewhere there had to be hundreds of warehouses full of toilet paper. Guessing they destroyed it all at some point. Other things disappeared from the groceries too. Flour, yeast....... it took over 6 months for yeast to be restocked.
Sorry, but stories like this won't persuade anyone.
Keep you eye on the ball, i.e., the Mericopa Audit
